The sound of these drumsticks are great I haven't heard any better ones that are made out of wood, so in my opinion these sticks are great for marching or concerts or for playing on the drumset

I loved the removable shafts but the only problem is that they don't com with extra shafts like the rest but since the shafts ore only $4.00 more its worth it to buy these.

This product is made great its built tuff and is designed to take anything you throw at it. they have the best sound and they are a little bit heavier then wooden sticks but thats o.k. because they are only a little bet heavier. this is a product you dont have to worry about because it comes with a 60 day warranty and are so strong that you don't have to worry about it.

I say if you going to buy another pair of wood sticks I would say to hold that money and get a pair of aheads because these sticks are more then likely good for a lifetime. and if you buy these and the shaft breaks well thats ok because the shafts are still cheaper then a pair of wooden sticks

I havent talked to the company but if there support is as good as these sticks then they would have the best company known to man.

this product has the nicest look I have seen. with the smooth shaft and the shiny chrome handle this stich looks like if you were looking at the side of a blue jay aircraft only that is chrome at the back and the rest is black and its made smaller.

The Ahead stick is kinda soft and hard at the same time. It make crashes crash and splashes splash. It's heavy, to give grunt behind the stroke, making you use your full body to get the stroke going, giving you wicked momentum. But they also have a lightness to them so they can easily be thrown about in your awesome fills and in your cymbal riding. AAAAANNNDDD, they look awesome as well.

It is built like a rod of iron, giving it immeasurable duability, But it is quite expensive. You also have to keep buying shells for them though.

The sticks are very comfortable and they don't make your hands sweaty like wood or wood dips. It takes a hell of a long time to damage them so they sound good AND so you don't have to buy new sticks, for a long peroid of time.

A bit top heavy with the price but it will be worth it, for you with not have to spend that much on sticks for a long time.

They look absolutely awesome and stylish plus they look cool flying through the air!

nothing like it

i think that the stick is worth its weight in gold. I have had the same sticks for almost a year (using them on and off) and i just broke them

i havent dealt with the company, but if they are anything like the stick, i wouldnt mind dealing with them

yeah, the black/white blend makes this stick unbeleivably beautiful. I love the look.

Sounds just like a wooden stick on toms and snare. Cymbal response is a little different, as the nylon "gives" differently when you hit cymbals with a glancing blow. Sounds slightly less focused on ride and hats when doing a ride pattern, but better than most synthetic sticks. Cross stick is a tad weak, but if you play to be playing crossticks a lot, check out the new "Crossroads" models by Ahead. They claim to have remedied the issue by using a different cover, and the covers may be usable on the standard Aheads, but I have not tried this.

What can I say? Replaceable tips, replaceable shaft covers, and kills all of the vibrations without a major loss of rebound. Vibrations? You have no clue whatsoever how bad vibrations are with wood sticks, and how much they are with other sythetics, or the toll that they are taking on your hands until you try these wonders of engineering.

VERY well made. I have never heard of a defective one. GREAT product!

Well, whad'ya think? I've heard of one guy who went 10 years with one pair of sticks, including the original covers, and he's still going.

Fortunately, I never had to use this, thanks to the above.

Awww, come on. Chrome and black sticks? Even jazz guys can't ignore this one. Looks really cool if you have, say a black or chrome kit.
