Vater Adds Hirano to Artist Family

Vater has added Taku Hirano to the Vater Family of Artists. Vater will be releasing Taku Hirano’s unique signature multi-purpose stick design, “Katana,” at NAMM 2019.
“I’m so excited to now be a part of Vater’s family of artists. I have always admired the reputation that Vater has built on its consistency, dependability and attention to detail,” says Hirano. “It’s a great honor to be working with them on the development of my signature sticks.”
“I am extremely honored to welcome Taku Hirano into the Vater Family,” adds Chad Brandolini, Vater director of Artist Relations. “Ironically, his initial connection to Vater goes back to his teens when he was buying the Vater made Jack’s Drum Shop sticks while he was a student at Berklee College of Music. We are thrilled that Taku has chosen Vater as his new home and all of us at Vater are looking forward to a very positive and productive future working together, starting with the release of his ‘Katana’ stick design at NAMM 2019!”
