Meet the perfect companion to our Silent Sticks:
The Silent Beater.
This bassdrum beater is quieter than any other beater on the market. The special materials used provide low mass, which results in less force beeing transferred to your drum. This means that you don’t have to adapt any other playing style, just mount the Stilent Beater and your bassdrum will have a significantly lower volume instantly. We are also shipping our beater with an additional special foam pad, in case you want even more volume reduction and a softer sound of your drum. Our Silent Beater is compatible with every standard bassdrum pedal.
Especially great for edrums and percussive instruments, these beaters keeps the instruments from breaking.
do you need Silent Sticks?
Playing in acoustic settings?
With drum and cymbal volume cut at least 80%, Silent Sticks let you play in acoustic and volume-sensitive settings with ease.
Drumming in a worship band?
With Silent Sticks there is no need for expensive plexi cages, electronic drums or amplification. Cut your volume in half while cutting out the cost of being quiet.
Drums too loud?
Not with Silent Sticks. By cutting volume 80% or more, they let you relax and focus on your practicing or playing instead of holding back. Too loud? Never!
Want better stage sound?
When the drummer gets loud, the band turns up…and the audience turns off. Getting the right volume onstage with Silent Sticks means a better sound out front.
Want to reduce e-drum pad ‘thwack’?
Are the neighbours complaining and your family going crazy because of drum volume or stick ‘thwack’ on e-drum pads? The bendy reflex tips of Silent Sticks cut that annoying noise.
Want more gigs?
The last time a band told you to play louder was when? Never, right? They want dynamics, not loudness. Cut your volume with Silent Sticks and audiences will love you too.

- Instant 50% volume reduction and more!
- Great for quiet and acoustic settings
- Rapid rebound Dual-Loop Reflex Tips®
- Crisp drum and cymbal responses

...and this is what our customers say...
-real customers who bought their sticks. not edited.
Just got a set and have to say after 50 years of drumming and spending a small fortune on hot rod sticks to be able to play quietly with attack and energy these silent sticks are great with a fantastic cymbal response If you need to play at low volume you need these as an alternative in your stick bag
Received mine in a timely manner even with the postal service being so backed up with volume. Love the sticks so far, would love for them to have a little more rebound, but with the way they’re designed I don’t see that being very alterable. Great product! May have to check out the silent beater soon 🤔
I tried Silent Sticks out this weekend with my band. I usually play my e-drums when we rehearse, but we have started booking gigs again, and have a show at a small bar and grill in 3 weeks. It's too small IMO for my acoustic drums, but I hate dragging my electrics to a gig. Anyhow, ordered Silent Sticks, set my Luddies up, and we had a grand rehearsal in my garage! I am ordering another pair today!
Enjoy playing with your invention especially on those days when Diabetic Arthropothy and Arthritis "creeps up", Lol. Thank You So Much! Aloha. Take Care, Stay Safe

Matt Drummer Just bought and used them today. Excellent product. If you are just an uncontrolled basher, then you will not be happy, but if you play with some finesse then I highly recommend them.
* * *
Jason Emery I’d say try em before knocking them. They have a unique feel and the weight of the stick really can really up your speed. I’ve been using them for a couple months. Certainly not right for every application but if yu try em I think you’ll find a place in your bag to keep a pair.

Glenn Etter Used mine for the first time last night and was very impressed, as was the rest of the band! Wondering how long they will last and how the plastic shaft will handle cymbal rash, but so far so good…

Maryanne ZanFagna I love these sticks. Just got mine a few days ago. They’re awesomeeee

Jared Ostrom Screw everyone who says these don’t work, YOU dont work, these sticks kick ass, and if you don’t think so, change instruments, pansy!

Allan Langvee Awesome product!!! Added bonus… broke my wrist (right cymbal hand) and can continue to practice with a cast! Vibration level is also less with these sticks!!! Totally recommend them!
* * *
John Arnett The silent sticks are great! Durable, grip nicely, and much more responsive on the snare and toms than dowel sticks, which I’ve used for years. Much brighter sound on the cymbals as well! A good investment!
* * *
Greg Mrakich These sticks are great. Feel great. Low volume but still you get tone from drums and cymbals. I’m a hack, but at least not a loud hack
* * *
Brad Hepfer I’ve had the sticks for several months now and really like them. I use to only play when it rained and the wife ( a former drummer and lead singer in an all girl band in the sixties) wasn’t home. No longer an issue with these sticks.

wait, there are more reviews!
– even more real customers who bought their sticks. not edited.

Jerry Umthun They are great. Used at Church praise band but we used those wrapped up tiny dowels where you only play solid notes. But with Adoro we can do rolls again in 8th and 16th note count. Love it.

Rob Crafts I am so pleased with these sticks. Ordered two pair and am very satisfied.
* * *
Sean Ibanez I actually really like these. Gave em a shot when they came up in my feed. Figured a few bucks wasn’t a big deal if I didn’t like them. They’re a little more flexible than i was expecting, but it’s easy to adjust to. They’re slim and light, i think a bit thinner than my 7a sticks. It lets me practice rudiments after my 5y/o goes to bed. It’s going to make a big difference for me.
* * *
Chris Sheppard I LOVE THE SILENT STICKS!! Just played my first full gig with them at a local Craft Brewery and we had a blast AND I played fully “free”! Decided to buy another pair as a back up.
* * *
Rafael Franco This silent beater is the best out there. It ACTUALLY reduces the noise significantly, opposed to the Kat and others which barely do anything
* * *
Greg Webster I bought two pair… Love them. They are not for heavy hitters.
* * *
Marco Noto Mine were shipped very quickly. The thin version is a little too small for my hands but workable. May try the larger size.
* * *
Tony Kay I have a pair and they really do cut the volume. They are very light in weight compared to regular sticks. They have a new version for e-drums which are a little more like a regular stick in weight. I use them for practice and when playing gigs in smaller venues.
* * *
Justin Bowe I’ve tried many implements to play quieter but with good tone; I don’t like rods, I like some things about rutes, and I liked the ProMark broomsticks but these SilentSticks are the best option I’ve tried in years. They feel great, play great, and work great for playing in a small church worship area. I did break the tip off one, but it happens to real sticks too so it’s fine. They deliver a tiny bit more attack than tone, but I can live with it. Highly recommend!

Scott Keiser I’m a worship pastor, and our Adoro worship drums and silent sticks arrived here in the U.S. 3 days after ordering, even shipping from Germany! 3 days!! That’s crazy.
Our sanctuary has ridiculous acoustics. It’s like playing in a cave. If you clap, it lingers for 4 seconds. Enter Adoro drums and sticks. We got it ready and mic’d up with no cage a couple Sundays ago, and I was nervous. The older members of the congregation would’ve bombarded me with emails the next day if it was too much (I know what you’re thinking, but that’s another convo for another day). But that Sunday went great! The drums blended well and were easy to regulate from the booth. I received several compliments on them even. They do what they are designed to do. Even in a “cave” sanctuary. Very impressed with this customer-minded company and the CEO.

Nechemia Soibelman I never leave feed back but I got these sticks and let me tell u life changing.
* * *
Bob Forman These are way quieter than wood sticks ,but sharper and louder than brushes! The perfect medium,and won’t annoy other musicians .lol. Not sure how durable they will hold up,just started playing ,time will tell !!
* * *
Richard A. Langley I use the silent sticks to rehearse in our little studio. I love them. If the rest of the band wants to hear what they really sound like with out ear monitors they are a miracle!
* * *
Leeroy Heckart My whole church basically made a comment the Sunday I brought them to church. That’s how much of a difference these sticks make. I’m pulling the trigger on the worship series.
* * *
Ken Osterhoudt I don’t get the complaining. They serve a purpose. If I wanna play at 11pm my neighbors hear nothing with these. The family doesn’t complain when they are trying to watch tv. If I just wanna mess around, not hearing protection these are fine. Sure I prefer real sticks but my practice time can now double with these. They serve a purpose. Took just a day to get used to them. Give them a chance. I ordered them, they were here in less than a week.
* * *
David Fuchser Just got a pair of the blue edrum version for my Roland kit, since I live in an apartment. It’s not silent of course, but it takes a considerable edge away compared to my regular sticks. Also have tennis ball risers underneath my bass and pedals (the main offenders!) Would recommend these sticks to any edrum player!

We offer 4 different models:
5/5
Scott Pellegrom
Signature Sticks
Want to reduce the volume of your (e-)drums and pads? With 16.5mm shaft the stick has the same thickness at the handle as a regular 5B stick. This is our sickest – err, thickest stick ever! Coming in a flashing red, with a softer tip that is specially adjusted to the bouncy mesh heads and pads. Rubber anti-slip X-Grips pretty much eliminate losing sticks during rapid timbal fills or busy clavé patterns. Check out what our artists Scott Pellegrom can do with these sticks!
4.4/5
Silent Percussion Sticks
-the original!
The Silent Stick for percussion is our thinnest and lightest stick, with its stiff but flexible Dual Loop Reflex TipTM design making it great for playing intricate rhythms with controlled dynamics on everything from cowbells to hand drums. Rubber anti-slip X-Grips pretty much eliminate losing sticks during rapid timbal fills or busy clavé patterns.
...and two bass drum beater
5/5
Adoro Silent Beater
with fiber shaft
Incl. soft pad with teflon surface to reduce friction on heads for more durability.
Fits all bass drum pedals.
4.6/5
Adoro Silent Beater, soft
with steel shaft
Note: if you usually bury your beater – playing heel up (not recommended with e-drums in first place), rather chose the fiber shaft version for more durability.
Fits all bass drum pedals.
4.7/5
Beater & Silent-A-Sticks Set
The Silent Beater with fiber shaft has a small head that delivers low volume with punch. Or, add the shock-absorbing impact pad (included) to further soften that punch and lessen the volume even more. Great also for cajons.
Fits all bass drum pedals.
The SSX Sticks are ideal for acoustic drums and cymbals and great on anything else, the firm nylon Dual Loop Reflex TipsTM of this model bend slightly upon impact to cut volume yet also deliver surprisingly crisp attack and definition with a natural feel.
What the pros say…
“I got my silent sticks a while ago and have used them at several rehearsals since. We rehearse in a small, low-ceiling basement and my bandmates have been constantly on me to play quieter at these practice sessions even to the point of suggesting putting towels all over the kit which I won’t do. That really screws up the sound and bounce of the drum so I (we) were hoping that the Silent Sticks would help solve the problem. They really, really did and are great at taking the volume way down while allowing me to play hard with the same force as I would in a live performance where more volume is okay. A great product!”
Charles Fisher, USA
“I just love the feel and weight of these Silent Sticks! To me they are somewhere in between playing a brush and a conventional stick. I am now using them with my students and at a Primary School where I teach. The kids love them too. Really easy on the ears in the classroom too. Highly recommended!”
Tony McNally (Advanced Skills Teacher for Music, UK)
“Shipping was fast, and after first sceptism my excitement grew. These sticks really deliver what they promise! I can play so quiet, I can keep talking during my drum clinics and explain what I am doing without a mike. Also, they sound great, like sticks, just less loud. I love them!”
Andy Graham
Love them! These sticks have a similar feel to normal sticks, but with a substantial decrease in volume. The closest alternative to these are rods, but my main gripe with rods is that you can’t even get air through the drum when playing toms. With these silent sticks, however, you get a much fuller feel on the toms and you can also get a solid rim shot on the snare without hurting everyone’s ears.They are much more durable than rods as well. I am very happy with them and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs to reduce the volume of their playing for difficult acoustic environments. These will put the fun back into playing quiet!

Silent Sticks & Heritage Heads: Ideal Volume + Awesome Tone
Adoro Heritage heads are great for all acoustic purposes -they have a lot less attack, sound warm and are so responsive they will let your drums sound like they are mic’d. Especially in bright enviroments, these heads make your drums shine!
Adoro introduces Synthetic Calf Heads
Adoro Heritage heads can be mounted like regular drumheads. By using a new innovative fibre material, we have optimized the warm sound of the heads and at the same time achieved maximum durability. In contrast to conventional cellulose-mylar constructions, the Heritage heads are now extremely hard-wearing and still offer the unique sound characteristics of natural heads, combined with great tuning stability. On top of this, Heritage heads tune a third lower than regular heads. This makes low tunings a lot easier!
Now combine this with our silent sticks and beaters, and you will have improved your acoustic drum sound for a really sensible and warm sound.
- single ply, roughened head
- warm, focused tone inspired by calfskins
- tune stable
- a third lower than usual heads!
- great vintage-look!
- long lasting
- Bass drum head with integrated muffler
Also available: The Heritage PDX with dot and control patches give your snare a nice extra punch while sounding still warm and amplified.
For concert toms etc. use the Heritage PD version available in all sizes from 8″-18″
We made a commercial!
Still not sure if you should get these? Sit back and watch this awesome commercial we professionally made. We did not spare any costs and even hired Dr. Evil for the voiceover. Who would not trust Dr. Evil?!
No cats were harmed in the process of filming..
Because we are super cool, we even got an awesome endorser who even has his own signature stick, do not forget to check out Scott Pellegrom!
