Drummers who play this stick 1
Drummers the maker itself lists as playing this model. Each name links to their entry in the drummer directory.
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.
OvalTip shape
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.
ConcertUse
For orchestra and wind band. Concert snare sticks and the like, designed around quiet articulation and fine control.
