Thanks for checking out the Hot Rods, Cool Rods, Lightning Rods, and Thunder Rods from Promark with us! Hit those like and subscribe buttons for more videos like this!
When I tell people D'Virgilio is my favourite drummer I often hear "the Sweetwater guy?!" :D Same syndrome as "That's the [arbitrary thing, action or person] from Fortnite!"
Every time I hear about new drums or drum products I check UA-cam to see if Sweetwater and Nick have a video on the product. It has never failed! Thanks Nick!
I've used rods for many years for rehearsals with bands. Saves your ears, saves theirs, you can hear the rest of the band clearly for things. They only thing I had to do was tune the tom batters higher as they don't respond well when tuned super low.
These paired with mesh heads are great for low volume playing/practice in living situations where sticks and an acoustic kit would otherwise get you an eviction notice and believe me I've had a few over the years.
Thanks for playing each set individually , Very useful information ! My band is very loud so we want to do some acoustic sets to open more doors for ourselves, oh , and I choose the H-rods for myself , for now. Thanks again
Love the Lightning rods they have replaced so many sticks for me. Lightweight balanced and fairly durable they give great tone and feel. Easy to switch grips due to octagonal shape ... seriously check them out you won't regret i n
I make my own for real. Time is time and money is money to be clear. I'm not against anything here, I just happen to have the time to make these instead of having the money to buy them. It's a fun project that I enjoy doing. Cheers!@@marloforreal

I'm a guitarist and this man just sold me drumsticks... incredible
Nick is simply a fabulous teacher, communicator, and of course amazing drummer.
Came here to figure out what to do with the cool rods I was given for Christmas, stayed for the absolutely fantastic playing.
That ride cymbal right there sounds awesome when played softly

I like how he says he's been playing them "at least" as long as they existed. Like maybe he warped the space/time continuum somehow

Lightning Rods are my favourite in the range too.
Nick could sell me anything
Akane Hirose of BAND-MAID uses them on their acoustic lives.
upvoted for proper use of "whole other" :)
these are great when you need lower-volume practice sessions.
Do a video on vic firth rute 202s
Home Depot. 7 Oak dowels . Hot glue. Electrical tape. (I use poop colored tape because im a Chad) .... DiY thunder rods.
Hot and Lightning are the best IMHO
Have you tried the cool? I went with hot because they last longer.
Dude you could Rock with with a couple of pencils
Yeah...he prefers the Ticonderoga 1388 #2 Soft.
$2. to make and $20. to buy. Ouch!
Convenience, baby. Go find the right wood, cut them evenly, shave them smooth, and go buy a wrap to bind them together. Time is money.
You'd spend that on bs anyhow.
