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!

Ahead XRB 5B Crossroads drumsticks 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 XRB drumsticks are their replaceable plastic sleeves, rings and tips. These drumsticks are suitable for the music styles of rock and country.

Wrote the following about Ahead XRB 5B Crossroads drum sticks with aluminium core

Ik was eerst sceptisch en het is zeker even wennen in het beginnen maar deze stokken voldoen boven mijn verwachting. Ik ga de 5A fatbeat variant ook bestellen. Wellicht dat die stokken nog beter bij mijn spel passen.
