November 2022 marks Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith's 30th year as a Vater Drumstick Artist. To commemorate the milestone, Vater is releasing a limited-edition Chad Smith model which will only be manufactured until November 1, 2023. This 30th Anniversary edition of Chad's Funk Blaster model is finished in a special silver paint, with a 30th Anniversary logo desingation along with Chad's signature, which has never been available to the public on his Funk Blaster model before. Play them or display them as a collectible... either way, you will own a piece of Chad Smith and Vater History.
