What is a hot rod stick?
Hot rod tippers have become incredibly popular in recent years. These beaters produce a much softer sound than hard tippers. They also offer a percussive click when striking the bodhrán.  
In their most basic form, they’re simply thin dowels of wood, held together by tape. Hot Rods cover the same impact area as most hard tippers, but deliver more attack per impact point creating a full, warm, resonant tone. 
Many bodhrán players like these beaters for their versatility. Most hot rod beaters come with a means of tightening or loosening the dowels allowing for a variety of sounds. The wider apart the dowels, the softer the sound, with more audible click. The tighter or closer together the dowels, the closer the sound will be to that of a hard stick.

This beater provides you with the ability to produce a variety of sound on the drum. It should be part of a standard set of tippers.

Very comfortable tipper and gives a good sound compared to the traditional tippers I got when I bought my bodhrán. Love the website too. Only tiny gripe is the end of the tipper has a few rough parts which will need a little sanding but an easy job.
