My Teardrop tip triangle beaters are available in two weights: light and heavy, and three metals: brass, bronze and stainless steel. The teardrop tip shape allows for changing timbre and dynamic without having to change beater, simply by changing the point on the tip where you make contact with the triangle. The beaters have a stainless steel shaft as standard and a silicone rubber grip. The combination of end-weighting (versus the more simple, uniform thick rod style of beater) and the silicone grip make for good damping of beater self-noise and click. These teardrop beaters are also available with carbon fibre shafts, which are a little more nimble and have even less beater self-noise. They are available individually or in pairs. I would recommend, as a starting point, matching the tip metal to your triangle metal - brass for brass, bronze for bronze, steel for steel. Using mis-matched metals will give a subtle change in overtone presentation in the triangle and in contact noise. Generally, brass tips produce a slightly warmer sound, bronze a more general purpose and balanced sound, and stainless steel tips bring out a little more edge.
