Alternative to John Riley signature sticks?

[sciomako]

I like the small acorn tip of Zildjian's John Riley signature sticks. But I want a lighter version, more like a 7A instead of 5A.

Any suggestion?

I am a fan of the John Riley stick too, have you checked out the Peter Erskine Ride stick ? It has a smaller acorn bead and plays like a light stick. The ProMark Elvin Jones might interest you too.

Thanks! The PE ride sticks look interesting.

I also noticed Vic Firth has a range called American Jazz with smaller tips.
