I'm a freelance percussionist, so I play a wide variety of instruments. I had made my own bamboo tipper for a gig because what I had wasn't suited to what I was playing. I bought this as a secondary option and it is my new general use tipper. Handles triplets well, gets a full sound and is a great length. For fast up/down strokes, this will work, but takes a lot more effort, so maybe not a good choice if you're playing a long gig with fast songs.
