Ahead Drum Sticks

To say that Ahead is passionate about drumsticks would be a vast understatement. In fact, Ahead stands for 'Advanced High Efficiency Alloy Drumsticks', and since 1992 they've maintained their mission to make responsive, durable, and perfectly-balanced sticks for players of all tastes. As you look through this section, it will be apparent to you quickly that Ahead is committed to staying on the cutting-edge of drum stick design. Whether you're an intricate jazz percussionist, a hard-hitting metal head, or a student in a marching band, Ahead has an ideal set of sticks waiting for you in this catalog.

Every percussionist has their stick preferences, and Ahead's line of drumsticks come to life through a passionate team of experts who listen to the wants and needs of players from all walks of life. For instance, if flexibility and quicker response time is what you're after, a long tapered stick is just the answer, and the Metal Fuse Long Taper 2B Sticks are quite popular. Built for speed, these sticks are a fusion of two characteristics that are rare to find combined. Boasting the lightweight feel of jazz sticks with the resilience of metal sticks, the Metal Fuse Long Taper Sticks are an excellent example of Ahead's innovative stick designs.

On the other hand, short tapered sticks are known for their exceptional volume due to the increased size of the stick's neck. If this sounds like what you want, then check out the Monsta Rock Short Taper Sticks. Precision-crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, these sticks are a top-notch combination of strength and roaring projection. One of Ahead's best-selling stick pairs, the Monsta Rock Sticks would satisfy any drummer who plays a harder-rocking style.

And Ahead's options just keep going from there. You'll also find medium tapered sticks (which are great for reducing hand and wrist fatigue), as well as signature series sticks from top-recording artists ranging from Lars Ulrich of Metallica to Matt McDonough of Mudvayne. When you get right down to it, Ahead is proud to provide you with your essential tools of the trade, so your highest level of potential is realized by everyone lucky enough to hear you in action.
