PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT:

ALTERNATIVE BRUSH SOUNDS FROM VIC FIRTH!

DREADLOCKS
Braided heavy gauge stainless-steel wires produce bold percussive sound. Strike, scrape or let your imagination create a variety of effects. Vic Firth's DREADLOCKS remain the obvious choice for creating brush sounds with the marching percussion section.

With hickory handles. L=14", Dia.=.575", Spread = 5 1/2"

RUTE 505
This model is a cross between our Rock Rake and the original Rute. A great choice for light jazz and combo playing. With thirty-one plastic bristles (.094") secured in a vinyl handle. A great choice when the Dreadlocks are too bright and penetrating.
L=15", Handle thickness = .690"

RUTE 606
For the Rute player who prefers a rubber handle and fixed position band. Designed for all-around playing. With 19 dowels (.125"). Dowel rods create a more pointed attack and warmer sound than plastic. L = 16 1/8", Handle thickness = .590"
