Promark Hot Rods are revolutionary drumsticks that provide drummers an unparalleled musical experience. Promark Hot Rods feature 19 select birch dowels bundled together to produce a light yet textured sound perfect for small venues and unplugged sessions. Promark is the originator of today's rod drumsticks, and drummers flock to these innovative sticks for their reduced volume, unique attack, and creative textures. With four flavors to choose from—the original Hot Rods, Cool Rods, Lightning Rods, and Thunder Rods—Promark has a rod for every player. When regular sticks are too loud, but brushes are too soft, Promark Hot Rods are the ideal choice for drummers seeking new tonal possibilities.

Birch Dowels Provide a Light, Slappy Sound

Promark Hot Rods are constructed from 19 premium birch dowels that provide a light, slappy tone with just the right amount of attack. The dowels are held together with a durable yet flexible red wrap that allows each dowel to vibrate independently, resulting in a highly responsive playing experience. Hot Rods produce fat, meaty tones from drums and a muted, washed-out sound from cymbals that is perfect for small venue and unplugged performances.

Four Flavors for Any Playing Style

Promark offers Hot Rods in four varieties to suit any playing style. The original Hot Rods provide a balanced tone and response. Cool Rods have nylon dowels for an even lighter, jazzier sound. Lightning Rods and Thunder Rods feature larger dowels for more volume and articulation. With this range of options, Promark has a rod for drummers of any skill level looking to expand their sonic palette.

A Must-Have for Every Stick Bag

Promark Hot Rods have become essential gear for gigging drummers. Their unique sound and highly responsive feel provide drummers with an acoustic option unlike any other. Hot Rods fit comfortably in any stick bag and are ready to transform your drumming at a moment's notice.
