About the wood, the tip and the maker
MapleMaterial
The lightest of the big three woods. A thick maple stick still feels light, which suits fast, intricate playing and quiet gigs. The trade-off is that it wears out sooner.
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.
