Dear Rock and Roll Drummers,

Please stop replacing your wooden drum sticks after every gig. Please stop shredding through the sensitive, flimsy skin of our brothers and sisters until they look like they've been chewed on by a pack of rabid chihuahuas on Red Bull shots. Please stop smacking the fruits of our bark against sharp metal rims and plastic drumheads. It hurts. Aren't you sick of constantly ordering replacements? Aren't you sick of the splinters and the cost?

We've got a suggestion. Now, we know you might be hesitant at first but please, hear us out, we think you'll come around to the idea. Here goes...Aluminum drumsticks. Yes, aluminum drumsticks. In fact, order yourself a pair of the Ahead Rock 5B Aluminum Drumsticks and we promise you won't look back. They'll feel good. They'll sound good. and, most importantly, they won't break all the time.

This way, you can stop making the forests cry big fat tears of loss.

Love, Your Friends,

The Trees

"ahead drumsticks ROCK!"

Sound: the sound of these sticks is great. they sound really good on cymbals. Feature: the sleeves grip well and last a long time. Quality: this product is made very well. aluminum drumsticks is just a cool idea. Value: this is a good price for sticks that will literally last for years. Manufacturer Support: i have never tried to reach them, but if they can make such fine quality sticks, they deserve a 10. The Wow Factor: these sticks are very sexy. Overall: these are awesome sticks, and i will continue to buy them as long as i can play.

Style of Music: Rock

"Metal pair"

Sound: i have a paiste 1000 series, 20" ride that reacts really well to the tips i have on these sticks. These sticks havent caused me any problems, They sound exellent when u hit the cymbals too, And they even sound good on my drums Feature: How many sticks can you screw up in one day?, thats my question. I love the fact that u can take the covers off when theyre messed up. never replace the sticks. Quality: i think they decay a little quicker but the tips never die ... just break. Manufacturer Support: ahead makes the best. i think. The Wow Factor: i need them so bad even after my first pair
