QPercussion Special Edition QSticks Natural Whisper orange

General

The orange QSticks are the thinnest rods made by Dutch manufacturer QPercussion. These rods sound like brushes, but with a bit more power. This is particularly noticeable on cymbals. The grip of these rods is comparable to 7A sticks from the most common brands. For soft and subtle playing, the orange Qsticks Natural Whisper rods are the best choice, both for drummers and percussionists. Because the individual sticks have a double lacquer coating, they will stick together a little at first. For best results, it is therefore important to play the rods for half an hour. The sticks will then come loose from each other so that the real QStick sound is achieved. An unplayed set from the shop or straight out of the box will therefore not immediately sound the same as a played-in pair.

QPercussion - QSticks

QSticks are handmade from a very sturdy and pliable type of wood. The rods have received a double layer 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, each available in three variations: coloured, neon coloured and in natural wood. Each colour has its own sound and volume range. For example, use the yellow version for lighter, mellow playing and the purple 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.
