Beech Soft Rods

I received the sticks a while ago and have used them at several rehearsals since.
We rehearse in a small, low-ceiling basement and my bandmates have been constantly on me to play quieter at these practice sessions even to the point of suggesting putting towels all over the kit which I won't do. That really screws up the sound and bounce of the drum so I (we) were hoping that the Silent Sticks would help solve the problem. They really, really did and are great at taking the volume way down while allowing me to play hard with the same force as I would in a live performance where more volume is okay.
A great product!

“Ich spiele oft in rein akustischem Kontext und dann gezwungenermaßen eher mit Rods oder Besen. Da muss man die Grooves, die man eigentlich mit Sticks geprobt hat, oftmals anpassen, weil Besen oder Rods sich einfach anders spielen als Sticks. Zu den Silent Sticks kann man hingegen ganz entspannt greifen, wenn es mal etwas leiser sein muss. Die spielen sich tatsächlich wie echte Sticks ,und die Grooves klappen auf Anhieb so wie sie sollen. Eine Geheimwaffe, die jeder Drummer dabei haben sollte.”

"Shipping was really fast, and after first sceptism my excitement grew. These sticks really deliver what they promise! I can play so low volume, I can keep talking during my drum clinics and explain what I am doing without a mike. Also, they sound great, like sticks, just less loud. I love them!"

“Adoro Silent Sticks haben ein sehr gutes Reboundgefühl und spielen sich wie sehr leichte Sticks. Im Gegensatz zu Besen oder Rods, kann ich hier also problemlos auch meine Double-Stroke-Rolls spielen. So muss ich meine Spielweise nicht den Stöcken anpassen. Großartig!”

"I love my silent sticks. I have so many gigs where i have to play really low volume, often just the cajon, and I gave the silent sticks a go. I did not expect them to sound that good! Usually those solutions are a bad compromise, not so the silent sticks! They really sound awesome, and after getting used to the light weight, which took me just a few minutes, I was able to play everything I was used to play with sticks. These sticks really rock, and can also take a bashing. Boy, I even play rimshots with them. Dude, serously, you saved my life!"
