Otis Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I was wondering if anyone here has used or is using bundles instead of regular sticks. I've used bundles at a couple gigs that were at small venues, and I wanted to control my volume. Lately I've been using them for practice for the same reason. Because of hearing issues, I've been trying to protect my ears with mute pads, mute cymbals, and the bundles. Oddly enough, I'm finding that I really like playing with bundles. My favorite bundles are the ProMark Lightning Rods. (https://bit.ly/43JCyfc) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Yes!!! Otis I am and was for many years a rodder/bundler depending on what you call them. Also really good are the Vic Firth Rute505's cross between a brush and a rod. If you can play with bounce with these guys a stick is made easier in my opinion. Also try the Steve Smith Tama Wand it's got a foam central bit with the rods around the outside helps with bounce and volume but a nice sound!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 It’s ironic that drummers use bundles. Technically a bundle consists of 10 straps each containing 100 hundred dollar bills. That’s $100,000. Great for small venues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
