Acorn - fat sound
Oval - broad mid-range

SHOULDER PLACEMENT Crucial in determining the weight distribution and rebound action of the sticks.
TAPER Influences the behavior and response of the stick. A long taper provides more flex and a quicker response
while a short taper is stiffer and stronger.

sticks are quicker and easier to control.
THICKNESS Determines the stick's strength and projection. Thicker sticks are louder and more durable, while
thinner sticks play faster and are more sensitive.
