## Description

Pro Mark Hot Rods

Review: Good Product - Exactly as advertised. Perfect for a softer, yet crisp sound. Will probably use them most during church Praise Band performances.
Review: New & improved handle end. Worth the price! - New and improved! ProMark added a heavy duty rubber "ball" end on the handle side, which could be used as a beater also. MUCH BETTER DOWEL QUALITY THAN THE CHEAP ONES YOU FIND AT 3/$18.99.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Product

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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ New & improved handle end. Worth the price!
*by B***. on December 7, 2025*

New and improved! ProMark added a heavy duty rubber "ball" end on the handle side, which could be used as a beater also. MUCH BETTER DOWEL QUALITY THAN THE CHEAP ONES YOU FIND AT 3/$18.99.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool Rods Drum Sticks
*by R***S on March 17, 2024*

Saw these used in a Bluegrass Video on Youtube, so, I looked at the reviews and chose these. After receiving them, pulled up a few videos online to play along to and they worked as advertised. I even tried them out on my Cajon, but, the bigger ones would work for that. These even have a nice feel and sound on my hi-hat. Purchased them so I would be able to play and practice more quietly.
