Why Twist Rods?
We got tired of spending exorbitant amounts of our hard-earned money to replace rods that would break after a few songs, or a set (if we were lucky), so we made better ones! We developed Twist Rods, not only to let you get more for your money but also to give you a cool alternative.
-
All our Twist Rods models are made in the USA from domestically grown Birch dowels, hand-dipped in lacquer for more durability and their grips are all fully glued, not just spot glued in a few places.
-
All models have our signature twist which allows for more rebound, a fatter sound and more flexibility in the dowels.
-
Our grip-wrap is a thinker PVC wrap, which is a more durable material than the typical polyolefin you find in most other brands.
-
All models come with an "O" ring* to give you the control and adjust-ability to get an open fat brush effect or closed tight stick sound.
-
The Bigfoot model comes standard with a vinyl cap end for a more traditional feel. This model has a short-medium grip-wrap to allow for more dowel movement.
-
The Jazz, Jazz Lite and Rock models come with your choice of ends; vinyl, rubber-butt or felt mallet (or choose both vinyl and rubber-butt ends). These models have a grip-wrap which is extended beyond the rim-shot zone and they have a hard plastic bell ringer at the end of the grip for more articulation when hitting the bell of the cymbal.
*We suggest storing all Twist Rods in the open position with the "O" rings where the grip-wrap meets the open dowels for the best results. Storing Twist Rods in the closed position, with the "O" rings at the playing tip may result in a lesser dowel flare over time.
