The more I get into drumming the more I understand, coming in with a new view. I play on mesh heads and I heard that some don’t like them, too much bounce, hard to control your stick.
Well I moved to mesh heads as the rubber pads (DTX) were aggravating my hand problems (from work).
I fitted these tips in a attempt to soften the impact, but then it pans out that rubber toms are not for me.
The new mesh heads were GREAT, and I use the bounce to play, it takes all the work out, BUT, I left the tips on to protect the mesh heads as the tone is no different on e drums with these tips.
When I changed sticks I realised that mesh heads are slippery, that’s why they are hard to drum on, the sticks don’t rebound in a constant way as they slide.
These tip give back the same feel from the perspective of control on mesh head drums, I thoroughly recommend them.
Why these and not other tips? The ribbed construction gives more grip as they give, are not hard a rubber compound like some others......
I also use headhunter grooved sticks, so the whole thing is just an easy controlled bounce with a very light grip, yeah takes all the work out...
Update, these tips ONLY work well on large tip sticks, if you have small tips then there is space between the rubber and wood and they will split. There are others here on Amazon that are smaller, and because they are all relatively cheap I’d recommend trying all of them to see what tip suits what stick.
