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.
A ball tip with a small contact patch. The striking surface is the same at any angle, so the tone stays consistent and ride patterns come out bright and clearly defined.
For marching bands. Built thick, long and heavy for outdoor volume, which usually makes them far too much stick for a drum set.
Tags models presented for marching. Thick, long and heavy is the norm, since they have to carry outdoors.
