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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaple dowels with polyolefin grip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (each)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e400mm x 18mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (each)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.05KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are rutes used for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRutes sit between drum sticks and brushes.
