Right now I am very high on a Fowler Mystery Wood on my slates.

Mystery wood? Or monkeywood?

To my ear, hard to beat black walnut on slate.  Can get real soft with it.   :z-twocents:

Laminated oak, persimmon, Paduk, tulip wood.

Got a recommendation from a fellow member a few weeks ago.

Stuckey Macassar Ebony

I've never had a striker sound that good on so many different surfaces.
You can get one on eBay. It's not cheap but you won't regret it.

I bet that striker would sound good on a trash can lid. : )

Dymondwood and I have an old Cody hickory, it's heavy n runs awesome.

Funny, all the exotic woods and those are my "go to" strikers also.

My favorite is a custom laminate made of purple heart and Osage orange.

really depends on the sound you are looking for.  I take a variety of strikers for my slate, but I seem to go back to purpleheart time and time again
