Pro-Mark Thunder Rod sticks offer the ultimate in strength and durability as they provide that patented Rods sound.

So heres the deal...these suckers are heavy! They are great for us drummers who club the snot out of our drums but they are thick and heavy. I can see these being very useful in a larger venue for a few acoustic songs etc. If you are playing small clubs and stuff like that...then you are better served buying hot rods or something similar. My perconal favs are lightening rods the only issue is they dont last long....these do. I say these are just ok because of weight and playability. I find it hard to play with these because of their weignt. They are durable and will last a beating or two. Perhaps bamboo is a better material...not birch? Anyways...these are just not for me...maybe for the metal drummer playing an acoustic set...LOL!
Solid... but I only use them for practice to keep the drum volume down. Great idea without having to use practice pads! I couldn't imagine using them for a live show.
I use these in a contemporary church service. I like them on the snare because they sound a little softer than regular sticks when playing an acoustic set. It's a little less edgey. I also found these to have a more consistent volume on the electronic set because they spread out the hit around the sensor, whereas hard sticks may or may not strike directly on the sensor that is in the center of the head. I use the Thunder Rods over the other Rods because they are bring out the hi-hat and cymbal sounds more ... they are just slightly softer than a regular stick. They are pretty durable too. I added grip tape for better control. The only negative is that they are a bit fatter than regular sticks, but I got used to the different feel. The smaller version, Lightning Rods, are closer in size to regular sticks, but are not as loud and don't last as long. I plan to continue buying the Thunder Rods.
