Ahead's best-seller, the 5A, follows the line of aluminum sticks designed to offer exemplary consistency from pair to pair. Made in the USA, it targets drummers who want a "standard" 5A type stick but with a more durable and consistent approach than wood.
The Ahead 5A is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers looking for a lightweight and fast stick, comfortable in rock, pop, funk, metal, variety, or studio settings. Its shock absorption and flexibility help reduce fatigue, making it a relevant choice for long rehearsals, concerts, and intensive sessions.
Its high-precision alloy guarantees variations of less than 1% in weight and balance, achieving a consistency rarely reached with wooden sticks. The highly durable polyurethane sleeves protect the aluminum stick as well as cymbals and drums, while the high-quality unbreakable nylon tips provide a clear attack. The entire design is intended to deliver the same sound on both sticks and maintain consistent performance over replacements.
The nylon tip promotes a bright, precise, and well-defined sound, especially appreciated on cymbals and for clear articulations (ghost notes, fast patterns, accents). The polyurethane sleeve acts as a shock absorber at the impact point: it softens the feel in the hand, limits unwanted vibrations, and helps maintain more controlled contact on cymbals, while preserving quick response and good rebound.
