Poly synthetic construction
These are poly synthetic RUTE-X rods rather than wood drumsticks.

Independent shopping perspective
Vic Firth RUTE-X poly synthetic rods combine the feel and response associated with a drumstick with the volume control and alternate sounds of a rod. They are designed for dynamic variation while retaining solid rimshots and cross-sticking—uses the description distinguishes from traditional rods. That makes them a direct choice for studio work, practice, and other low-volume playing situations where those stick techniques still matter.
