ProMark’s new Hybrid Rods are a fusion of tried-and-true hickory sticks and low-volume dowel tips. ProMark Hybrid Rods deliver the low volume benefit of a rod, with the feel and response of a drumstick. Available with nylon or bamboo tips, both options have a subdued sonic flavor. Both versions also boast a FireGrain 2B handle, which delivers extra durability, thanks to ProMark’s flame-hardening process. The design of Hybrid Rods uses an adjustable O-ring, which loosens or tightens the dowels to alter the attack accordingly.
