Don’t you hate it when you’re playing in a small room and the bandleader asks you to play with rods? Well, let’s find out if they’re really that much quieter. We’ll also listen to the drums from upstairs above my basement to discover the difference in noise bleed. You’d be surprised at how loud rods can actually be, so if you’re constrained to “playing with rods”…pick some that can get loud. :) It’s also worth noting that I have taped the ends of my rods, giving them a punchier sound on the drums. It may make things a hair louder, but not by much. If you’re interested in nerding out on this some more, let me know in the comments and I’ll consider making a further comparison where we tape vs un-tape hotrods. So here we go… Today we’re comparing the volume difference between a pair of 5A sticks, a pair of “taped” lightning rods, and a pair of “taped” thunder rods. The thunder rods are pretty heavy and beefy, so comparing them with sticks gets pretty interesting. Enjoy!
