Talking Re: Wood, or Nylon tip?


Hi all,

This thread links in with the the post by Skinslapper today, with a nice method to fix nylon tips to the sticks once they have fallen of.

I am a big fan of wooden tips, but that is also related to the styles of music I play.(Rock,Jazz,Latin, Fusion) I find the nylon tips leave marks on the cymbals, but I heard nobody complaining about that before, did any of you have the same experience?

Cheers and happy Drumming,

Harry

Re: Wood, or Nylon tip?


I'm nylon (obviously). I like the added ping of wood, but it doesn't account for how quickly the tip splinters and then you have to replace them. Nylons, because they last longer.

Nylon, love a good ping on a ride. I play 2B so everything dents heads, and cymbal markings are what they make cleaners for, I wax my truck, why not clean my cymbals too!
