The tip of a drumstick impacts the sound more than any other factor. A small tip will give you a bright, clean sound on the cymbals. A large tip will produce a warm, full tone.
The other option to consider is nylon vs. wood. Neither is better or worse. If you want a bright, clean sound that will cut through guitars and bass then you want to go with a nylon tip. If you want a warmer, natural tone that will blend in with the surrounding sounds then you want to go with a wood tip.

Recorded by Vater Artist and Producer, Tim Rankin at T-Time Studios. All tips were recorded using 2 x Rode NT2A overheads mics, place equal distance from the snare as is the use for a normal recording. Recorded from the perspective of a right-hand drummer. Using Audient preamps and analog to digital conversion. No additional eq or compression was applied. Volume levels gain and volume was not adjusted during the post and recording stages. All sticks were recorded equally. The volume difference will be weight added from the stick causing extra velocity.
