Description

The Chord RUTES7 gives you a firmer option than standard rutes, with seven solid maple dowels bundled into each rod. Rutes (sometimes called rods or hot rods) sit between full drum sticks and brushes, so you get a fuller strike than a brush without the volume of a stick. This pair is built for players who want a bit more attack while keeping things quieter than regular sticks.

Each rod uses thick maple dowels held together with a heat-shrink coated grip. The polyolefin grip keeps the dowels bundled tightly and gives you a firm, consistent hold during play. Maple is a common choice for this kind of rod because it holds its shape well and carries a decent amount of weight, which is what gives the RUTES7 its firmer feel against the head or cymbal.

Each rod measures 400mm long and 18mm in diameter, weighing 50g. That length and weight put them close to a standard stick in the hand, so the switch feels natural if you already play sticks. Use them on the kit for lower volume gigs, rehearsals, acoustic sets or studio work where you need to pull back the level but keep more definition than a brush allows. Supplied as a matched pair.
