The Ultra-Tones Quiet Drumming System for Neighbor-Friendly Drumming!

Lidwish solutions quiet drum sticks are outstanding! I have been using the product for 2 years almost exclusively. They have replaced my regular drum sticks for almost all situations. My bandmates appreciate the volume difference. My wife definitely appreciates the volume difference. I can practice without earplugs and the tone while slightly different is still good drum tone. As far as translating to regular sticks I find that there is minimal adjustment and if anything I play even better with regular sticks after using the quiet sticks. Recordingwise there is minimal impact on quality and no one can tell that I am not using regular sticks. Even more important the bass drum beater definitely makes using a real drum set at home more manageable. The 2.0 version appears sturdier and even better tone. Anyway, I am a very happy customer and wholeheartedly recommend the product!

""We're TOO LOUD. The client isn't at all happy about the volume level of the band and tensions are running high. Then I reach into my stick bag and pull out these amazing sticks. It's like grabbing a secret weapon from my super-hero utility belt. The client is floored by the difference, smiles approvingly, and gives us the O.K. sign. On more than one occasion they have SAVED THE DAY!"

My son has been using these for the last couple of years and they have let him play as often as he likes without annoying everyone else in the family. They have had no ill effects on his playing, as he happily transitions to wooden sticks when he plays in larger venues. It would be great to see other families and young drummers benefiting from this system.

"Aloha. I received my Ultra Tones today and just wanted to say WOW. You said I would like them, and I had high expectations which were totally exceeded. I've been drumming for 4 decades now but my rig has been collecting dust in my condo for almost 10 years. Drum and cymbal mutes were tried, but just didn't cut the mustard sound and feel-wise. These sticks are everything I was hoping for. I can't tell you how special this is to me to be able to get back on the throne whenever the mood strikes me. Thanks for a killer product."

My ultra tones came in today. I am very impressed. I normally use Vic Firth 7AN. I have a set of Flix light (blue), flix heavy (orange) both with tips. I also have the tala wands (bamboo and birch). My favorite of the bundle sticks is the tala wands. The Flix give the drums an unnatural sound. Flix has no rebound at all and just feel like a wet noodle. The Tala wands sound good but break very easily. When broken the foam center flies around like crazy.

I used the Ultra-tones today side by side the 7AN & both Flix's. WOW!!!!!!!! The Ultra-tones sound amazing. The toms have the same tone as they do with the 7AN without the volume. They have great rebound so your technique doesn't suffer whatsoever.

if you need quieter rehearsals BUY LIDWISH ULTRA-TONE Version 2.0 sticks. I will be using these for acoustic sets where the drum volume needs to be low.

"Thank you for creating the Ultra-Tones system. Wooden sticks are just too loud for the room where I’ve got my drums set up – namely the living room of my house. I’d say on the snare, the Ultra-Tone sticks are at least half the volume of wooden sticks. I live in a single family home and am able to play my music a couple clicks louder than if I had neighbors above or below me, but I do not need to raise the stereo volume any higher in order to practice drumming along with the music when using the Ultra-Tones sticks and bass drum kick beater. A great product!"

Hey Lazaro, I got the Ultra Tones and they are better than I imagined they would be. They are more quiet than they seem on the demo videos. I've been playing with brushes to keep the noise level down. So now its great to be able to practice my sticking at about the same level as my brushes and the weight and feel is very close to regular sticks. Thanks for the great product . You've made my drum practice more fun.

"I've used almost every sound dampening system that is currently available. I have tried the rubber disks -- but you lose the feel of the drums and what ever volume is left is useless if you are playing with other people or a recording. I do use hot rods but they have a different feel entirely. Simply put, the ultra tones system gives me the feel I am looking for at a lower volume so I don't have to worry about disturbing neighbors etc. In terms of volume reduction, it is substantial -- I can have a normal conversation with someone while playing. It is an outstanding product! "

"It sounds and feels like real drums. My ULTRA TONES make it easy to play when volume is a issue. they are not only limited to that scenario, they are great for warm up and practice as well as recording . A must item for every stick bag."

"They actually work pretty well, I'd say the noise reduction to inside the house (thru one wall to the garage) is at least 50 percent, maybe more. Definitely worth it! Thanks."

"I used the sticks Saturday for the first time. I like the sound much more than my Hot Rod sticks, especially on my cymbals. I haven't needed the bass drum dampeners as I have feet with very soft touch...All in all, and after only one use, I am very satisfied and want to thank you for all your hard work making and marketing these sticks. I too think that every drummer should have a pair of these sticks in his or her bag."
