What's ya'll's favorite wood for strikers? Hard or soft?
Macassar for me. Hard to find but on glass it is nasty.
Thats the same thing as ebony right?
Determining grain pattern, then marking the striker to get it in your hand every time to call across the grain is key. Especially when cutting, as you'll get that raspy popping sound that drives some old toms wild.
This is a Macassar Ebony stick that I made tonight. Sounds the best I've ever heard on glass & slate. I will definitely be making more!!
Nice Work.
Very Nice
