Just switched from VF 5B (wood tips) to Regal Tip 5B (wood tips). I like them both but the Regal Tips are a bit stickier in my hands so less dropping.
Just my $0.02...
DW drums and Paiste cymbals.
I play Black Suede Emperor and/or Ambassador heads, and nylon tips leave little white marks, so I stick with wood tips. I tried a few different brands/sizes, and anything in the 9/16" range with a "rock" tip works fine for me
I play with clear or coated so thats not a problem for me but that should be something a drumstick company should fix by offering different color nylon tip for ex BLACK or glow in the dark to get gigging people who play in dark situations you know for the looks. Also have you tried the vic firth titan those probably won't leave a mark.
Sabian!!!
