Versatility is a key factor in Vic Firth's new Rute X Bundled drumstick series. Imagine combining the feel and response of a classic Vic Firth drumstick with the finely engineered volume control and alternative sound of a bundled dowel piece. The result is an extremely adaptable stick that thrives in a variety of playing situations, rimshots and cross-sticking included. Comfortably contoured with a 0.580-inch diameter and a 16.25-inch length, Sweetwater drummers have found Rute X Bundle Sticks keep a low profile, but maintain all the maneuverability you require. They also make a perfect choice for multiple low-volume settings, whether practicing, recording, or grooving along in an acoustic session.

What’s So Great About Buying Drums from Sweetwater?


More volume, clearer attack





The striking end of the heavy-gauge Rute X Bundled Stick is comprised of seven heavy-gauge premium birch dowels. These are great for both boosting your overall bundled sound, and for when you need your strikes to cut through more on your drums and cymbals. The smooth hybrid design of the hickory handle keeps all of your favorite percussive flares manageable while still achieving that woody, alternative sound. The moveable band adjusts for appropriate sound and feel alteration in your low-volume setting of choice. Finished in a walnut stain, these sticks also look as elegant as they sound.
