Frequently Asked Questions
Drum Sticks, Brushes, Multi-Rods FAQs
What types of stick-equivalent tools does a drummer need?
Most drummers own multiple types of striking tools: standard drumsticks (hickory/maple/oak in various sizes), brushes (for jazz and acoustic), multi-rods (for medium-volume playing), and mallets (for cymbal swells and orchestral work).
What's the difference between brushes and multi-rods?
Brushes (wire or plastic) produce a soft, swept sound - typical for jazz. Multi-rods are bundles of thin dowels - produce a sound between brushes and sticks, ideal for medium-volume contexts.
When should I use mallets?
Mallets are essential for cymbal swells, soft tom rolls, orchestral percussion, and many specialty playing techniques.
Which brands of sticks and accessories does DCP carry?
Drum Center of Portsmouth stocks Vic Firth, Pro-Mark, Vater, Zildjian, Regal Tip, Ahead, and many other major stick and accessory brands.
Do you carry signature sticks from drummer endorsers?
Yes - we stock signature sticks from many touring and recording drummers across all major brands.
