A serious snare upgrade for any drummer, each 30-ply rock maple RimRiser Cross Stick Performance Enhancer is meticulously handcrafted in the U.S.A by a skilled woodworker with over 35 years experience in shell design, complimenting the warm wood maple tonalities, a bronze standoff spacer and single-sided Neoprene/steel washer easily attaches with one tension rod, compactly raising the hoop surface about an inch (extended DW True-Pitch and standard rod is included with hardware) enhancing the midrange and control for a warmer, more consistent cross stick sound or adding new wood-like hoop effects to your drums.

Great upgrade!

i do alot of pit work and this has been the best accessory ive had in years.. got one from a student very happy . i will pick up another at some point. took some getting used to with the raised surface now i dont think i would play without one. I`m thinking less of the movements involved when cross sticking.

I love the sound

It is not as si.ple to install as is let on to be. Bolts were to long. Blick does not rest on rim as it should. Spacer was to long. Had to modify both bolt and spacer to fit the drum and still sit straight on the rim.

    I love the RimRiser. I have one my studio kit and it makes the rim shots so much easier to capture. I will always use this for recording. I will probably also add them to my live kits. Also, best customer service. I needed a longer tension rod and they made sure I got the size I needed.

  • Best sounding cross stick you can get.

    After the first set my keyboard player asked if I was using a sample, said that was the cleanest "click" sound he'd ever heard.

    Very Happy ,Guitar Center has been my go to for gear since the mid 90s. This is by far the best purchase I've made in years. My cross stick is fuller and indeed more consistent. Love the broadened tonality..
