The heaviest and hardest of the big three. A go-to for power and durability, often Japanese white oak (shira-kashi), and a wood Japanese makers are known for. Harder on the hands.
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.
Founded 1957 in Houston, Texas. It began by importing Japanese sticks and brought Japanese white oak to the US market. Owned by D'Addario since 2011; Kyoritsu handles Japan.
