A little more contact area than a teardrop. Cymbal definition stays in check and the sound is fuller and more blended. Easy to live with, and the most common shape here.
For orchestra and wind band. Concert snare sticks and the like, designed around quiet articulation and fine control.
Tags models presented for classical and wind band work. Concert snare sticks graded carefully from the quietest strokes up to full volume.
Tags models presented for marching. Thick, long and heavy is the norm, since they have to carry outdoors.
