Explore our full range of drum rods, also known as multi-rods or hot rods, from top brands like Vic Firth, ProMark, Vater, Flix, Kuppmen and Meinl Stick and Brush. Designed to sit between sticks and brushes in terms of volume and attack, rods are the go-to choice for controlled, acoustic-style playing without losing feel or articulation.
Made from bundled wooden dowels, bamboo, or synthetic materials, rods provide a softer, more muted sound than standard sticks—ideal for rehearsals, unplugged sets, or small venues where dynamics matter. Many models feature adjustable bands or wraps, allowing you to tweak the response and rebound to suit your preferences.
Drummers across genres use rods for their ability to deliver a lighter touch without sacrificing groove or definition. They’re perfect for singer-songwriter sets, jazz fusion, worship music, and low-volume practice—giving you stick-like control with a reduced footprint.
Whether you’re dialing back the volume or exploring new textures, drum rods offer a versatile and expressive addition to your stick bag.
