Vater Percussion is a US manufacturer based in Holbrook, Massachusetts. The company has always focused on percussion instruments, producing drum sticks, brushes and mallets.
The Vintage Bomber was designed in collaboration with Otis Brown III, drummer for Jazz Great Joe Lovano. The Vintage Bomber was conceived and designed to replicate the soft but boomy bass drum tones of the great jazz era.
It was founded by Jack Adams, and is now run by his two grandsons Ron and Alan Vater. Although the company began producing sticks in 1956, it did not officially become "Vater Percussion" until 1991.
