The parts of a drumstick
Zildjian describes the stick from tip to butt. The shoulder, where the shaft narrows toward the neck, sets the balance: the closer it is to the tip, the more front-heavy the stick. The shaft takes the rimshots. The butt end, rounded by grinding, is more comfortable in the hand and sounds bigger when played reversed.
