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.

Bodhran Beaters arrived quickly, great to play with. I asked for one to be turned into a split beater, was no problem. Great place to shop and staff are excellent to deal with.

Brush beater I really like the sound from the brush beater. It's not overpowering playing with other instruments. As a beginner it's also really pleasing to use when practising. thanks again
