    shoulder ufthe s‘ick is the part that tapers towards the tip, and is normally slightly convex‘ It

    is often used for playing the bell nfa cymbal, and for the loudest strokes on a wood block. It

    can also be used to produce a cymbal crash when applied to the how or n‘m Ufa cymbal, and

    for playing ride patterns on China, swish and pang cymbals. The shafi is the body of the stick,
