Ahead sticks provide many benefits. Giving more power for less effort and 50% less shock than wooden sticks, lasting 6 to 10 times longer than their standard wooden contemporaries. They also cause less damage to cymbals due to shock absorption, and are the only stick with a 60 day warranty. The precision alloy core guarantees weight and balance variations of less than 1 %, compared to as much as 20% with wood. Super hard polyurethane replacement covers protect your sticks and your gear. The expansive range of Ahead sticks covers all the standard models and much more besides. Innovative new models like the 5AB hybrid prove Ahead as a forward thinker.
