The default choice, and for good reason: enough weight and give to soak up shock, so less buzz reaches your hands, plus it holds up well. Start here if you're not sure.
TeardropTip shape
Halfway between a ball and a flat face. The tone shifts with your angle of attack, and on cymbals it balances definition against body. A genuine all-rounder.
