If this is a little overwhelming right now, don’t worry. Focus on the size first – choosing the tip shape and taper length is a bit more technical and requires a bit more experience. This means you can still executive difficult drum fills and fast songs, but don’t have to worry about sounding half-hearted or struggling to be heard with a band.

They’re also all very similarly priced. So, the best thing to do is try out each option from the different brands to see which ones you like the most. Wrap Up Round or ball offer a very clear tone that is bright, crisp and clean and feels a little sharper. The surface that touches the drum produces a distinct tone. The surface that touch the drum is always the same no matter the angle, which means that the beats will always sound the same.It’s much easier to sound like your drumming heroes when you have access to the same equipment that they do. Nylon - this tip produces the brightest sound and are the most durable. Great for added projection and cymbal definition. Increased balance– While both the American Classic 5A and Extreme 5A have a medium taper, the Extreme 5A can feel more balanced in the hand as a result of its increased length. This can make it more comfortable to play with and easier to control. While Ahead may not have an as extensive or decorated history as the likes of Vic Firth and Zildjian, the brand has built an excellent reputation amongst drummers since it was founded in 1992.

His ability to produce such an exceptional sound for the Red Hot Chili Peppers when playing simple grooves has led to countless drummers studying his style, including myself. Mallets are used both for pitched percussion, such as xylophones and marimbas and for cymbals. The ball on the tip can be made of rubber, plastic or be wrapped in cloth or cotton, depending on which instruments you're playing. However, if you wanted your drumming to stand out more and be more obvious when playing with a band, you might choose to go with a brighter sound. It's always very tempting to skip all the beginner's steps and throw yourself in the deep end of the pool because you obviously want to play cool, impressive music, but even though it might seem like a slower process to go through all the basic stuff we assure you it's always worth it.
