QPercussion QSticks Colored red

General

The red version of the QSticks gives a slightly stronger sound compared to the yellow version. These rods have a special triangle grip that puts the wide side of the top on the drumhead. This gives a wide, fat sound. Like the yellow version, these rods have a standard 5A thickness.

QPercussion - QSticks

QSticks are handmade from a very sturdy and pliable type of wood. The rods have been given a double coat of lacquer which makes them last a lot longer. The fact that they are made by hand is nice: each pair receives the same care and attention, guaranteeing quality. QSticks are available in six different colours: coloured, neon coloured and in natural wood. Each colour has its own sound and volume range. For instance, use the yellow version for lighter, soft playing and the purple one for solid, hard work. The colour code is useful if you have several rods; the pairs can be quickly identified.

The rubber ring allows you to adjust the sound per stick. Slide the ring further towards the handle to give the rods a bit more air for a lighter sound, or slide the ring towards the top for a firmer, more focused attack. For optimum rebound, better stick control and to protect drumheads, the top of the QSticks is rounded. QSticks are used by numerous well-known international drummers and percussionists. Among others, Alex Acuña, Hans Eijkenaar, John Engels, Joost Kroon, Gijs Anders van Straalen, Martin Verdonk, Adam Nussbaum, Louis Conte and Cesar Zuiderwijk regularly carry one or more sets of the QSticks in their stick bags.
