If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to get acoustic drums quiet enough for church — without shoving your drummer in a fish bowl — these sticks might be the perfect solution.

In the video, we tested the Adoro Silent Sticks in a couple different churches, and the results were impressive. These sticks reduce volume by 4–9 dB, keep the feel of acoustic drums, and help you get a more controlled, natural drum sound in smaller rooms or reverberant spaces.

What makes these sticks unique?

Plastic tube construction with grippy handles
Flexible loops on the end that create the reduced-volume impact
Lightweight feel (takes some getting used to)
Not indestructible — with normal use, you’ll eventually replace them
Play cymbals with the tip only
Don’t crash the edge of your cymbals (you can break the stick)
Possible to do rimshots, but they’ll still be much louder
Great option for churches needing quieter drums without sacrificing feel

We tried them in different church environments — one with a DW Low Pro Travel Kit, the other with standard acoustic drums — and in both cases the sticks reduced the harsh transients and helped the room mics respond more naturally.

And since I’m not a drummer, I’m giving away my pair so one of you can put them to use instead of letting them sit on my shelf.

This giveaway isn’t sponsored–I bought these myself, and Adoro has no idea I’m doing this.
