Cattails

Cattails are similar to Blasters with the addition of 3 strategically placed nylon sleeves. There is a small O ring on the rods which can be used to tighten the bundle.  The nylon sleeve can also be positioned on its host polyrod strand.  Often poly type bundles have little cymbal definition and create more of a 'wash' sound, by adding the nylon sleeves, it is now possible produce a cymbal tone.  This can be regulated by positioning the nylon sleeve in or out of range out contact.   This allows the player have a more balanced sound between the cymbals and drums.   We included Cattails these under our Hybrid section, because they incorporate many attributes of regular bundled rods with the added benefit of being able to produce a ping or wash sound from cymbals.
