Arejay Hale

Areja Hale has been using these during the 2019 Halestorm tour

In this video in 2013, he stated that he uses the Vater Hammer sticks when touring with Halestorm

Before he became a Vater artist, he used promark sticks. In this video, you can see the classic promark stripes in his drumsticks.

2:06 " So I asked them either if it was possible either to do a Hammer Drumstick in the nude finish or use a different type of drumstick that is already in the nude finish with the two butts, and they suggested the Morgan Rose Alien Freak sticks which of course, Morgan has always been a good dude, he's a great drummer, you know, one of my favourites of this time, and a good friend of ours (all the guys in Sevendust are amazing). So, I was just like 'why don't I try using Morgan's stick'. So, they sent me out a couple pairs one night, and I just loved it. I love these a little bit more than the Hammers because they're about the size of a 2B, (it's) a little bit thicker, and also, they have no lacquer, so the grip is a lot better you know, especially during the summertime festivals where it is really hot out (there), and we get really sweaty, we're playing, and we're hitting really hard. The natural finish is great for grip so I can really hold on to it. It doesn't slide out of my hands, and it's awesome you know. And I love it because it's thicker so I can hit a lot harder, you know my snare drum cracks, and my toms just punch through the mix and the PA. Everyone has been impressed by it, and I have been using these for probably 3 or 4 months now I guess, since the beginning of the year, and I just fell in love with them, they're great, and they're awesome cuz... also just one of my favourite drummers gets to play them too. So thank you Morgan Rose, and thank you Vater for giving me this awesome drumstick to play every night."
