Re: Drummers: Hotrods vs sticks Hod rods are quieter than solid sticks. They do have a brighter sound compared to a tear drop shaped drum stick. So, no, they do not sound the same. Hot-rods do not have the same response as a solid stick and therefore are a little harder to play double strokes and/or fast rolls.
