"Amazing Sticks, Crazy Quality, won't be dissapointted."

Feature:
Its excellent!! It can't be better cept maybe a lil bit more reach, buh other then that it's great. You can change the nylon tips and the shafts no prob and they are cheap too. Like 4 dollars for both shafts and like what 2 dollars for both tips.

Quality:
It lasts up to like 4-6 months without having to change the shafts or tips. Ahead sticks are made with the nest quality. Every stick is perfect. Just that it might be a pain to change the shafts and tips. You need to use a clamp to twist off the tips then use a blow dryer to soften the plastic so the shaft can slide off. Then put and melt the new shaft on and twist and lock it off with the tip and some super glue. It might seem like a pain but its like changing strings on a floyd rose, a pain but worth doing.

Value:
It is a bit more expensive then other sticks but it's worth it in the long run since most experienced drummers break their sticks like once or twice a week.

Desirability:
It's actually pretty sexy especially is you have a jet black kit like me. The sticks go well with my jordison export or any black coloured kit. Also when you play the white tips gives the stick some extra flare.

Sound:
I just bought these nice Ahead Joey Jordison Sticks and i can only say one thing. They are AMAZING!!! I use a Pearl Export Joey Jordison Signature and they sound great on it!! They are very light weight and easy to use, it's like you cant feel them at all. Some peeople recommend grip tape but I don't really need it. Overall great sticks at a great price. The sound it makes is a nice loud explosive chirp on the snare drum and on the toms....it just makes them sound more alive. Best sticks i have ever used, just it needs a bit more reach. On top of that it lasts quite a long time.

Ease of Use:
Well it depends on the drummer. I am kinda an all around drummer though I play alot of metal. You don't even need to worry about the fatigue problem. You can play for weeks on end without tiring your wrists out.

Support:
I actually havent had a problem yet with ahead but if you ever did i don't think they would be that hard to reach. There is also a 60 day warrenty on the sticks.

Overall:
I think i would be using these sticks for a long time. Maybe at least 5 years but then maybe I would like to look for a diffrent sound. If it weren't these sticks then maybe other ahead sticks like the lars sticks or even the Travis Smith ones. Or if i had to pick a whole other brand then maybe vic firth.

Feature:
It's a drumstick. How many features can there be? However many there are, this stick has them all.

Quality:
High quality. Much much better than plain wooden sticks in my opinion.

Value:
They're a bit expensive, but hey...

Desirability:
Very cool. Joey Jordison is awesome.

Sound:
A little more UMPH than most sticks.

Ease of Use:
I think these sticks actually make me play better.

Support:
don't know

Overall:
Awesome sticks. I don't know if I'd want to buy them again because they're pretty expensive but we'll see how long they last. I doubt I'll have to replace them anyway. Then seem that they'll last a long time.

A virtually indestructable drumstick with smart technological refinements, the Ahead features a built-in vibration reduction system (VRS) that reduces hand fatigue and lets you play longer and faster and ergonomically-tuned handle diameters. A precision alloy core guarantees weight and balance variations of less than 1% compared to as much as 20% with wood. Super hard replacement polyurethane covers protect both sticks and gear. Super high impact nylon tips come in different shapes (including mallet heads) to fit every style of play.
