Pro Mark H-RODS Hot Rods Birch Dowel Drumsticks

In Oasis's Wonderwall, the drummer used a drum stick called Rods.  They are made of about twelve bunched up sticks bound in a couple of plastic rings.  Rods have a delicate effect and produce a softer more subtle drum sound.  You do not get the same rebound as from regular sticks, but you can get a balanced nuanced drum sound.  I recommend playing with a variety of sticks to gain an overall development of feel, dynamics and hand stick coordination.
