The comfort and grip for each tipper is unique. You can also expect different sounds from different styles of tipper. So try a few different styles!

It's barely held together, the heat shrink was not all the way tight and I had to add my own electrical tape to hold it together in several places...

This beater/tipper has poor quality. The individual pieces of rattan or bamboo are not locked in place, so they slip out of place making the play worthless, and dangerous to scratch your drum

I like the tipper, as it is different but it wasn't quite what I expected.
