In2003 Regal Tip introduced one of its most significatnt contributions and inventions.the E-Tip, which is manufactured of nylon, for duability, but offers the warmer sound of wood on the cymbals. Specialty items, such as the Blasticks, nylon-capped timbale sticks, the Conga Stick, and the Handbourine are a tribute to the company's continuing interest in the design of products that meet the needs of today's players. Today this line includes the world's best selling " Classic" model, as well as signature models designed for such brush masters as Clayton Cameron, Jeff Hamilton, Ed Thigpen and John "JR" Robinson. The company applied its determination to produce quality products to the wide range of brushes it designed for the market.
Regal Tip's brushes are considered the best-selling, best-quality brushes in the world. The nylon tip drumstick was only the beginning of what has become a long list of well-manufactured, inventive products. In fact, the sound was so pleasing that it helped define the musical styles of the day with its signature clarity on the drumheads and ride cymbals. That’s when professional drummer and woodworker, Joe Calato, decided to try to make a stick that would last longer and would offer a new, cutting edge sound. A drumstick with a nylon tip that stayed on, didn’t shatter and produced a sound pleasing to the ear. Although the sound was great, many drummers were frustrated when their wood tips wore out too quickly.
Prior to that time only wood tip sticks were available. No one knows this better than Joe Calato, who revolutionized the drumstick industry in 1958.
