Product Description
Product Description
Pro Mark started a trend when we introduced the original Hot Rods. Other companies have tried unsuccessfully to duplicate their unique sound and feel. When regular sticks are too loud and brushes too quient, Rods are just right. Available in seven sizes each with a unique sound, size and feel.
Product Description
When sticks are too loud and brushes are too soft Hot Rods are the perfect balance. Bundles of select Birch dowels bound together giving a versatile sound, midway between sticks and brushes. The original Hot Rods... what more can we say! Imitated by others, but never equalled.
Why not also try Cool Rods (for a more delicate sound), Thunder Rods (perfect for the heaviest hitters) or Lightning Rods (more attack and a bright cymbal sound)?

these sticks are a great option if you need to keep the noise down a bit.
-and what drummer doesn't need that sometimes?
I buy for the balance and feel these sticks give.
-not too durable if you use rim shots a lot.
buy and enjoy.

Fabulous Sticks!
30 Mar 2006
These sticks were recommended to me by a friend and they're great for the venue I play: church. Hot Rods allow me to play with full strokes; I don't have to hold back like I would with even the lightest regular sticks, yet I get a much reduced volume.
My muscle memory benefits and so does our congregation which has many people who don't believe drums should be used in a church. By playing quietly, I have been able to add rhythm to our band and worship without being offensive and have actually won some people over.
The only downside to these sticks is that the small dowels used will splinter and break, especially when used agressively on the edges of cymbals, ie, hi-hats. But other than that, they're hexagonal, have a non-slip grip and are easy to hold.
Great product. Pro Mark caught Vic Firth napping with these babies...

i have not tried several brands/models of bundled sticks. this review will help someone thinking about trying bundles sticks for the first time. if bundles sticks are your thing...well i'm not an aficionado.
these "sticks" are both longer and heavier then most traditional solid sticks. they are wider to grip (which i like) so you can use more of your hand.
they don't rebound nearly as well as solid sticks. this has a few effects.
1) you can't do rolls as well.
2) because they take their time getting off the head (dampening resonance)they are quieter. much quieter then solid sticks. this is why most people get them i think.
3) the stick attack is much more pronounced then with solid sticks.
they are also not nearly as durable as solids sticks. after enough rim shots and crashes the dowels break one by one. so if you are a heavy hitter bring extras. however, since most people are trying to take down the volume with these and hitting light, this is less of an issue.
even though they break easy, are less nimble, and cost more i still have to have a pair in my stick bag. they feel and sound very different then reg sticks. they are a good way to bring down volume without hitting softly. on some material i like the way they sound better then sticks.

I have been using these sticks for about 2 years now and have been awesome! Finding them here for this price was shocking. Ithought something had to be wrong with them. Not at all. You shouldn't have to comprise quality for price and I didn't!!! Got the same great pro-mark product for an incredible price!!!
