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.
A near-round nose on a fuller body. You keep the clear articulation of a ball tip but gain some width and volume in the sound.
For marching bands. Built thick, long and heavy for outdoor volume, which usually makes them far too much stick for a drum set.
Tags models presented for marching. Thick, long and heavy is the norm, since they have to carry outdoors.
