The Vic Firth RUTE-X Light Gauge offers the feel and response of a drumstick with the volume control and alternative sounds of a rod. The RUTE-X rods offer unparalleled dynamic versatility, solid rimshots, and cross sticking that cannot be achieved with traditional rods. With a low-volume response, the RUTE-X rods are perfect for the studio, practice, or other low-volume settings. 

The 23 light-gauge premium birch dowels offer a softer touch and less volume and attack on drums and cymbals. A moveable band can be adjusted to dial in your sound and feel. This allows you to completely customise your rods, providing the perfect sound and feel for you. These rods feature a timeless walnut stain, offering a great aesthetic that looks perfectly at home with any kit.
