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.
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.
Founded 1888 in Markneukirchen, Germany, and still family-run in the fifth generation. It also still makes conductors' batons, and is Europe's largest stickmaker.
