User questions & answers

Question:	Can these be used for classic snare druming
Answer:	Yes. Just note that the rebound is weaker than sticks.
Question:	I just ordered the Promark H-Rods Hot Rods Drumn sticks. Is the red band suppose to move up and down to change the sound of the sticks
Answer:	Free Tip: I put about three wraps of duct tape around the outside of the mid-stick plastic band. I use the taped part of the stick on the thin edge of a cymbal for washes and quiet cymbal rolls - it is a bit like having fuzzy cymbal mallets already in your hands, and it doesn't noticeably affect the stick weight.
Question:	Do these damage drum heads? It seems like the sharp 90 - degree rod tips would damage heads pretty easily
Answer:	I never had any head damage due to using the H-Rods. If you are using them properly most of the rods hit the rim of the snare drum to snap the ends to the head. That is just my opinion and method of use..... Keith
Question:	How are these compared to the vic firth tala wands
Answer:	I use both. I have the bamboo tala wand. The tala wand is an improvement on the rebound, so rudiments can be played faster, but the hotrods can be abused more and once the hotrod's are broke in they have a more brushy sound. So for lighter technical work the tala wands. For the high energy without worry about getting loud, the hotrods.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why are the pink sticks almost 2x as much as the same exact blue sticks
Answer:	The answer is due to the price difference in the dye used for blue and for pink. Blue is a really common dye, found easily in shipping range for most factories, where as pink requires it to be shipped in for some areas.
Question:	I would like to get these for my 2 year old niece. would she have trouble playing a normal sized drum kit since these sticks are shorter
Answer:	I think she would find it easier to play any size drum. The shorter the sticks the easier to manage by shorter arms. My 5 and 8 year old grand kids had no problem.
Question:	Do you get just one pair for
Answer:	Yes, only 1 pair (2) will come with this purchase. Regards
Question:	The sticks 5A ? And adult can use making good sound
