Drum stick shape effect on sound quality

A: Round type --- The sound generated by the big round head drum stick will be stronger, and the sound generated by the small round head drum stick will be louder (there are many high ingredients); Because the round stick always has the same contact surface, changing its contact point does not have much effect on the sound, and the sound quality is strong.

B: Elliptic type --- It can produce a wide sound, because the oval drum stick's head shape is larger than the area of the round head drum stick, so the knocking out sound will be dark than the round head drum stick.
