Making your own Tippers

(c)2005 Paul Marshall

If you're anything like me, you will have maybe hundreds of tippers that you will have bought and made, all in the search for the 'one'.

Steafan Hannigan says that we never really own tippers we only just borrow them for a while as they always seem to disappear.

It's useful therefore to look at the types of tipper that suit you and then to look at variables within types. Because they are generally made of natural materials, each tipper will have individual characteristics but there are several guidelines which can help you weed through a pile of tippers and select those which are most likely to suit your playing style(s) and your drum(s).
