Hybrid broomcorn broomsticks with adjustable O-rings for versatile sound between brushes and rods.

The ProMark PMBRM1 Medium Broomsticks offer drummers a unique hybrid between traditional brushes and rods, delivering a distinctive sound that bridges soft articulation and moderate attack. Crafted from actual broomcorn with a 14 1/2" (36.83cm) length and 0.875" (2.22cm) handle diameter, these broomsticks feature adjustable O-rings that allow players to control bristle spread, tailoring the sound from a softer, brush-like response to a stiffer, rod-like punch. Designed for acoustic drum sets, cajons, or low-volume “unplugged” gigs, they provide greater volume than brushes but less attack than rods, producing a warm, moderate tone ideal for jazz, folk, or Latin percussion setups.

Users praise their natural feel, comfortable grip akin to traditional drumsticks, and unique sound on cajons, though they note limited projection on cymbals (especially ride cymbals) and potential bristle wear with heavy use. Manufactured in the USA at D’Addario’s Texas facility, the PMBRM1 reflects ProMark’s 65-year legacy of quality, making it a go-to choice for drummers seeking alternative sound sources with dynamic versatility.
