this is always an interesting topic to read about.
I prefer wood tips, 5a,7a variety although I have been a Nylon tip guy for way too long.
When I started playing my vintage kit the wood just worked, and it opened a whole new world of sound from my cymbals as well.
For me Im a big fan of the VF Kizashi Oak sticks, although the tips seem to lose their hardness over time and sound softer.
Every once in a while I will rotate through my sticks and see which one "does it" for me at that time.
Im always open to new sticks and the link above seems cool, thank you.
