The Vic Firth Rute 505 Plastic Brush offers drummers and percussionists a creative alternative to traditional drumsticks and wire brushes. Combining flexible plastic bristles with a durable handle, the Rute 505 delivers a distinctive blend of articulation, texture, and controlled volume that works well in a variety of musical settings.
Designed for situations where standard sticks may be too aggressive and wire brushes may not provide enough attack, the Rute 505 fills an important middle ground. It produces clear rhythmic definition while maintaining a softer overall sound, making it a valuable tool for dynamic and acoustic performances.
The flexible plastic bristles create a response that sits comfortably between the focused attack of a drumstick and the sweeping texture of a traditional brush. This unique feel makes the Rute 505 popular among drummers seeking additional tonal options and dynamic control.
Many drummers keep a pair of Rute 505 brushes in their stick bag because they offer sounds that standard sticks cannot easily produce. They're particularly useful in acoustic settings, worship environments, theater performances, studio sessions, and situations where dynamic control is essential.
Since 1939, Roxy Music has helped drummers discover tools that expand their musical possibilities. Our staff includes experienced percussionists who understand how specialty sticks and brushes can unlock new sounds and creative approaches to playing.
Whether you're looking for a softer alternative to drumsticks or a more articulate option than traditional wire brushes, the Vic Firth Rute 505 Plastic Brush delivers versatile performance and distinctive musical textures.
