How are these compared to the vic firth tala wands?

I use both. I have the bamboo tala wand. The tala wand is an improvement on the rebound, so rudiments can be played faster, but the hotrods can be abused more and once the hotrod's are broke in they have a more brushy sound. So for lighter technical work the tala wands. For the high energy without worry about getting loud, the hotrods.

Do these damage drum heads? It seems like the sharp 90 - degree rod tips would damage heads pretty easily.

I never had any head damage due to using the H-Rods. If you are using them properly most of the rods hit the rim of the snare drum to snap the ends to the head. That is just my opinion and method of use..... Keith

I just ordered the Promark H-Rods Hot Rods Drumn sticks. Is the red band suppose to move up and down to change the sound of the sticks?

Free Tip: I put about three wraps of duct tape around the outside of the mid-stick plastic band. I use the taped part of the stick on the thin edge of a cymbal for washes and quiet cymbal rolls - it is a bit like having fuzzy cymbal mallets already in your hands, and it doesn't noticeably affect the stick weight.

Can these be used for classic snare druming?

Yes. Just note that the rebound is weaker than sticks.
