Shop ProMark Rods and Brushes by Type

ProMark Hot Rods

Bundled wooden dowels that produce a softer, more focused attack than a traditional drumstick while retaining a stick-like feel. Best for low-volume gigs, acoustic sessions, and rehearsal spaces where a full stick would be too loud. Representative example: ProMark Hot Rods

ProMark Lightning Rods

A thinner, lighter rod bundle for an even softer attack and faster response. Best for drummers who want maximum sensitivity and a delicate touch in quiet acoustic or jazz settings. Representative example: ProMark Lightning Rods

ProMark Cool Rods

A unique rod construction that sits between a hot rod and a brush in terms of volume and feel. Best for folk, country, singer-songwriter, and acoustic pop settings where you want something more defined than a brush but softer than a hot rod. Representative example: ProMark Cool Rods

ProMark Wire Brushes

The classic jazz brush. Wire brushes produce the characteristic sweeping and swishing sounds on snare and cymbals that define jazz drumming. Best for jazz, light pop, and any setting where a blended, warm tone is needed. Representative example: ProMark TB3 Jazz Telescopic Wire Brush

ProMark Nylon Brushes

More durable than wire brushes with a slightly brighter tone. Best for drummers who want the versatility of a brush with greater longevity, or who play in settings where wire brushes wear too quickly. Available in Light 5B and Heavy 2B weights.

ProMark Broomsticks

A wider, fuller bundle that produces a warm, woody tone with more body than a standard rod. Best for acoustic, folk, and roots music where you want a natural, organic sound with more presence than a brush. Available in Small and Medium.

How to Choose Between Rods, Brushes, and Broomsticks

Rods are best for drummers who want to play at lower volumes without losing the feel of a traditional stick. Hot Rods are the most popular choice - they produce a softer attack than a full stick while retaining a familiar grip and response. Lightning Rods are thinner and lighter for an even softer, more sensitive touch. Cool Rods sit between a rod and a brush in terms of volume and feel - best for folk, country, and acoustic pop.

Wire Brushes are the classic choice for jazz drumming. They produce the characteristic sweeping and swishing sounds on snare and cymbals that define the jazz sound. The ProMark TB3 Jazz Telescopic Wire Brush is a popular choice for its adjustable handle and consistent fan. Wire brushes are best for jazz, light pop, and any setting where a warm, blended tone is needed.

Nylon Brushes are more durable than wire brushes and produce a slightly brighter tone. They are best for drummers who want the versatility of a brush with greater longevity, or who play in settings where wire brushes wear too quickly. Available in Light 5B and Heavy 2B weights to suit different playing styles.

Broomsticks produce a warm, woody tone with more body than a standard rod. The wider bundle creates a fuller sound that sits between a rod and a full stick - best for acoustic, folk, and roots music where you want a natural, organic sound with more presence than a brush.
