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.

Usually, I play with a solid beater. This gives a lighter sound which can be adjusted with the rubber band up or down. The ridged is rubber grip is great!

Thank You! Love this new tipper! It delivers a clean concise brushy sound without losing the thump. The moveable o-ring offers nice range and the stationary ones neatly kept with the shrink tight band look good as well as keep it in my grip when moving around on stage! A joy to play! All players deserve this treat!

Perfect length and grip position for double ended and single ended. I needed to sandpaper each skewer individually as they where still kind of sharp when the rubber band was pushed back. But would recommend and will buy again. Paid 4 for delivery and only 1.60 on stamp but not a big deal.

Wonderfully made and produces a beautiful gentle sound - also the grip is excellent as it allows for all styles of play.
