Nick really is the best thing that ever happened for sweetwater in the KZbin drum community

When I tell people D'Virgilio is my favourite drummer I often hear "the Sweetwater guy?!" :D Same syndrome as "That's the [arbitrary thing, action or person] from Fortnite!"

Every time I hear about new drums or drum products I check KZbin to see if Sweetwater and Nick have a video on the product. It has never failed! Thanks Nick!

Came here to figure out what to do with the cool rods I was given for Christmas, stayed for the absolutely fantastic playing.

I like how he says he's been playing them "at least" as long as they existed. Like maybe he warped the space/time continuum somehow

These paired with mesh heads are great for low volume playing/practice in living situations where sticks and an acoustic kit would otherwise get you an eviction notice and believe me I've had a few over the years.

Thanks for playing each set individually , Very useful information ! My band is very loud so we want to do some acoustic sets to open more doors for ourselves, oh , and I choose the H-rods for myself , for now. Thanks again

Damn this guy plays clean. Nice snare work. Nice demo of the rods!

I've used rods for many years for rehearsals with bands. Saves your ears, saves theirs, you can hear the rest of the band clearly for things. They only thing I had to do was tune the tom batters higher as they don't respond well when tuned super low.

Love the Lightning rods they have replaced so many sticks for me. Lightweight balanced and fairly durable they give great tone and feel. Easy to switch grips due to octagonal shape ... seriously check them out you won't regret i n

Convenience, baby. Go find the right wood, cut them evenly, shave them smooth, and go buy a wrap to bind them together. Time is money.

I make my own for real. Time is time and money is money to be clear. I'm not against anything here, I just happen to have the time to make these instead of having the money to buy them. It's a fun project that I enjoy doing. Cheers!@@marloforreal
