## Description

A Promark original, Hot Rods drumsticks are constructed with 19 medium, premium select birch dowels that create a light sound. With a smooth grip for easy playability, hot rods have a bouncy feel and are comfortable to play with. The wood dowels are held together by a unique red plastic wrap near the neck of the drumsticks that provides a light sound with just enough texture. The wrap also improves the durability of the sticks. Perfect for small venues like coffeehouses or cafes, and acoustic performances, Promark Hot Rods are a must-have addition to every drummer’s stick bag. H-RODS are .550” in diameter and 16” long. For over 60 years, Promark has been an environmentally conscious leader in drumstick manufacturing and design. Promark uses only un-endangered wood in the manufacturing of its sticks and mallets. The harvesting of hardwoods is carefully controlled, with replenishment of the forest being a top concern. Now part of D’Addario & Company, Inc., Promark products are proudly made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry. The D’Addario family’s heart, soul and love for making music is put into every drum and accessory we create, and we never stop inspiring performance.

Review: Good Product - Exactly as advertised. Perfect for a softer, yet crisp sound. Will probably use them most during church Praise Band performances.
Review: If you must play quietly - When you need to bring the energy down and play on VH1 Unplugged, these are your sticks. The dowels eventually break, but one at a time so they're still usable for a long time. Grip is good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product
*by K***R on September 27, 2025*

Exactly as advertised. Perfect for a softer, yet crisp sound. Will probably use them most during church Praise Band performances.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you must play quietly
*by A***R on March 16, 2026*

When you need to bring the energy down and play on VH1 Unplugged, these are your sticks. The dowels eventually break, but one at a time so they're still usable for a long time. Grip is good.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Sticks
*by K***N on April 22, 2024*

I just started playing with a couple of guitarists that play a lot of acoustic music. But even when playing their electric guitars they keep their volume way too low.....that in itself is quite surprising. Anyway, I tried playing quietly with regular sticks (too loud) and brushes (too quiet). These HotRods fit the situation perfectly. The red version is pretty close in size to my usual 5B sticks. I can not comment on their durability or longevity as I have only used them for 4 sessions. I suspect they wouldn't hold up well if you wanted to play death/speed metal quietly but then who would.
