Queen wood striker

[Gobbleandgrunt]

My question is about queen wood strikers. What's it comparable to sound wise, and who makes a great mushroom tip in this species.

Queen wood is about like purpleheart to me about the same hardness..

[Gobbleandgrunt]

Thanks. I figured it was harder.  It sure is heavy. Thanks Jessie.

I have never heard of queen wood....I'm also interested in who makes strikers out of it.

Here's a Queenwood striker that I made.  Sounds good on most surfaces.



Doesn't have a mushroom tip but it is available.

What's it most like in your opinion?

[West Augusta]

It's hard for me to say what it most sounds like.  I'll let you decide.  Here is my Queenwood striker on a Clint Corder aluminum, Lonzo Trice glass over slate, Glen Marrer glass over glass, Lonnie Snead Hot Hen, My titanium pot, my ceramic pot, Frank Kruer copper and a John Sinclair brass.
