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.
OvalTip shape
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.
