(More customer reviews)Since I started playing bodhran I've bought and played around with several tippers. While the heavy tippers in the mid-east line helped to get a nice solid sound in the first month or so of learning, I found that as my skill developed I was able to get a greater range of sounds from lighter tippers (such as thins one). I believe that the reason for this is the heavier tippers mute the reverberation of the skin when they strike, while the lighter ones bounce and let the skin vibrate more. I enjoy the sound-balance from this tipper, because while it allows the sound of the skin to come through, the knobs give it just enough weight to lend my strikes a little thud. Of course, I'm sure personal preference, play-style and drum-make all contribute to my preference for this tipper. It's also worth looking into lighter-weight tippers such as this if the impact of the heavier ones bothers your hand/wrist after longer practice sessions (which I find to be the case).
It seems functional for both single or double-ended playing (I play with both ends of the stick, gripping it at the middle-most ridge).
