EF 2 - 16 € - 17 gr. 3mm thick beech dowels, glued at grip. This design even gives triplets a jazzy kick. Sliding rubber rings to adjust firmness. Comfortable rubber grip.

EF 3 -18 € - 28 gr “Hot Bamboo“ Special “hot rod” made of bamboo dowels. Bamboo is highly resistant to friction and has a slightly firmer attack than maple or beech. This tipper has an asymmetrical (excentric) design, with a soft rubber grip and sliding rubber rings at both ends to adjust the firmness. The individual dowels in the bundle are glued at the grip to prevent single dowels slipping. The player can adjust the angle at which the specially ground tips hit the drum skin, to vary the type of sound produced.

EF 6 - 15 € - 44 gr. A specially edited soft brush with rubber grip for soft base line playing ... very interesting. One of our top-sellers !

EF 7 - 16 € - 28 gr. A very powerful Rod with only 7 but thicker beech dowells. The comfortable grip is made of rubber. Sliding rubber rings to adjust firmness.Especially for very powerful playing ! The design of this special tipper was influenced by the "Powerrod" by Ralf Siepmann (instrument maker from Hamburg/Germany). I recommend this Rod especially for DRAGONSkin bodhráns so you can get more present high notes without loosing the warm and creamy bass.
Ap. 24 cm long

 

 


EF 8 - 18 € - 20 gr. Double-sided bamboo "Hotrod", long and slender style.
This special tipper was designed by Cillian Healy, a young bodhrán player and motivated tipper maker from Dublin/Ireland. To pay the inventor respect this tippers are made by Cillian himself in Ireland. The basic shape of this rod is a triangle, so it rests perfectly between three fingers. Because of its special building-type it makes it more a topendstyle (singleended style) tipper. Crispy but warm sound. Glued at grip, adjustable fimness.
Ap. 25,5 cm long   *Out of stock*

 


EF 9 - 18 € - 16 gr. Double-sided beech "Hotrod", long and slender style.
This special tipper was designed by Cillian Healy, a young bodhrán player and motivated tipper maker from Dublin/Ireland. To pay the inventor respect this tippers are made by Cillian himself in Ireland. The basic shape of this rod is a triangle, so it rests perfectly between three fingers. This rod is similar to the EF 8, but has only 6, but thicker beech dowells which gives a harder attack and a slightly  louder sound. Because of its special building-type it makes it more a topendstyle (singleended style) but also combined (kerry/topend) tipper.
Glued at grip, adjustable fimness.
Ap. 25 cm long   *Out of stock*

 


EF 10 - 28 € - 36 gr. The EF 10 is a very, very special Effecttipper made by Alan Collinson from Wales.
The sound is similar to the EF7 but with a special playing feeling !
Alan makes a whole range of special balanced and weighted tippers. This very model is made of my secifes and is also used by myself very often. The special thing about this beater is the balance point not at the half as it would usually be, but at ap. 15cm from the top. This gives a very good playing feeling and allows to play quicker and more relaxed because of smaller movements. The secret of the tipper is the combined center of the tipper: a hollow aluminium pipe at the front and a solid brass piece at the back of the beater. The special sticky rubber coating gives a very good grip! It´s a pleasure for me to present this Tipper in my product range made by a real experienced player and tipper maker: Alan Collinson !
