Compact broomcorn broomsticks with adjustable O-rings for a versatile, soft sound between brushes and rods.

he ProMark PMBRM2 Small Broomsticks are a compact, hybrid percussion tool that blends the softness of brushes with the heft of rods, perfect for drummers seeking a unique sound for low-volume performances. Crafted from actual broomcorn with a 13 1/4" (33.66cm) length and 0.750" (1.905cm) handle diameter, these broomsticks feature adjustable O-rings to control bristle spread, allowing players to customize the response from soft and brush-like to stiffer and rod-like. Offering greater volume than brushes but less attack than rods, they produce a warm, moderate tone ideal for acoustic drum sets, cajons, or “unplugged” gigs like jazz or folk sessions.

Users praise their manageable size, natural stick-like grip, and unique sound on cajons, though they note limited projection on cymbals (especially ride cymbals) and potential bristle wear with heavy use. Some prefer the larger PMBRM1 for a fuller, wuchtiger sound, but the PMBRM2 excels for softer playing and textured effects. Manufactured in the USA at D’Addario’s Texas facility, these broomsticks reflect ProMark’s 65-year legacy of quality and innovation.
