Twist Rod Story
Creative Percussion Twist Rods multi rods

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.
