What are rods?

Rods are multiple dowels bundled together into a single implement. They come in many variations - different thicknesses, materials, dowel counts and bundling tightness - all shaping the sound produced from a percussion instrument. Rods generally deliver lower volume than regular drumsticks but a distinct sound character: softer attack and an acoustic, almost percussive quality. They work equally well on a drum kit or on various percussion instruments when a lower-volume sound is needed. Having a few rod variations in your stick bag is a smart way to stay ready for different musical situations.
