Vintage inspired! A throwback to old-school brushes from decades ago. Going through Jack Adams’ [Alan Vater’s Grandfather] cases, we came across some vintage brushes made specifically for Jack when he owned and operated Jack’s Drum Shop in Boston, along with playing jazz and big band himself.
The Beantown Brush grip measures .530” for a lighter and quicker feel combined with a thinner gauge wire for more flex and a soft sound with plenty of classic swish tonality. The rubber grip’s reddish-brown color is a nod to both the vintage brush era, and Boston’s nickname of “Beantown”, where Vater’s drumstick making history began in the basement of Jack’s Drum Shop.
"The Beantown Brush is a dream fulfilled… I have been searching for that brush that is a direct replica of my favorite model that is the standard for jazz brushes. They knocked it out of the park with pure craftsmanship and a brush that feels and sounds good!" - Ulysses Owens Jr.

Mint condition items are completely blemish-free and have not been modified in any way. If there are any blemishes and/or modifications, the item needs to be listed as a condition less than mint.

Very Good describes items with more cosmetic imperfections than Excellent, but are still in great condition overall. There may be some scratches, finish dings, slight keyholing or light pitting, but nothing that affects the playability or function of the gear.
Good (Used)
Good condition includes items that are in fine working order, but have significant cosmetic imperfections. A cymbal with substantial fleabites, or an old snare drum with some surface rust on the lugs would be classified as Good. Items with dents, or corrosion qualify as Good as long as they are still playable and fully functional.
