General

Ahead supplies revolutionary drumsticks! They feature an aluminium core and every Ahead drumstick, unlike regular wooden sticks, has exactly the same weight and balance. What's more, they last ten times longer! With the SW5A, Ahead also makes it a pair of multi-functional sticks: with a spun felt ball at the end of each stick, allowing you to use the stick as a mallet. So being able to switch quickly makes them ideal for playing your cymbals, among other things.

Ahead SW5A Switch combi drum sticks mallets with alu-core:

The precision alloy guarantees minimal variations in weight and balance compared to wooden drumsticks, with variations in these being around 20 per cent. With these Ahead drumsticks, it is only 1 per cent! The built-in VRS (Vibration Reduction) system reduces hand fatigue, so you can play longer and maintain smoothness for faster drum playing. Also special about these Ahead SW5A drumsticks are their replaceable plastic sleeves, rings and tips.
