Bought 2 pair of these 15 years ago and they're still going strong. gone through many sheaths, and tips during that time. through metal, rock and jazz they havent done me wrong except that one time i left them at home and had to play with wooden sticks when i discovered an additional feature. i guess the aluminium ahs some sort of shock absorbing quality bc after that wooden stick gig the wrist forearm pain were off the charts. 5 stars all around

Although I recently broke one doesn't mean they get a badd review from me I bottom about 15 years ago they improved my skill 10 fold. They are vary impressive sticks. I use to drop my sticks constantly which was frustrating, the feel of AHEAD helped me from doing so. I recommend them to any drummer regardless of skill level. I have several pairs now and only use AHEAD

"Not Worth The Price"

Overall: 1 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I bought these sticks not even a year ago. Hardly used them. And I play a Yamaha Electronic drumsset, that have silicone & rubber pads. For the price you pay for these so called sticks, you would think, that they were made better. The grip part of the stick broke inside. Now you can buy the taper covers & the replacement tips all day long, for a good price. But you can't buy the replacement grips, that I know of. I'm not going out and buy a new pair of sticks again for $ 30.00, or more. And to top it all off, you gotta super glue the tips, back on. To me, I rather buy 3 prs. of sticks, instead of one of these poor designed sticks. I just hope other drummers have better luck, than I did. I won't go that route again.
