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.
BarrelTip shape
Close to a cylinder, with a broad contact area. Cymbals give you thickness ahead of definition, and drums are easy to drive. Common on power-oriented models.
