My personal choice number one. Fits perfectly on hand and the grip is very nice. The nylon head provides good and clear ping on ride cymbal and almost never breaks. With some other manufacturers sticks i have broken many nylon tips, or they have fallen off, but with these ones the stick itself will break before the nylon wears off or breaks. I will continue using these and i have recommended these to my drummer friends also and will recommend to whoever is reading this :)
