Nearly all the birch here is laminated birch: thin plies glued together. It's very heavy and very strong, which is why it turns up in loud marching and concert models.
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.
A cymbal dynasty that began in 1623 in Constantinople, now based in Massachusetts. One of the oldest instrument makers in the world, and it turns its own sticks too.
Standard drum set sticks. This is the site's default filter, and every familiar model number like 5A or 7A lives here.
