personally I like yellowheart. picked up a wenge and cocabola striker in Nashville that sounds very good on a couple of my ceramics. however they sound terrible on my others. I like to take a pot when looking for a striker and try dozens on it , until I find a couple that sound like what im looking for. if I cant , I try some until I do. I know that most times this is not feasible. at the convention this year , I brought a couple of pots with me and eventually found some strikers that really turned my ok pots into some awesome pots. sorry for the long reply. generally I have found yellowheart to sound the best on average on ceramic.
