They invite you to try a pair of Ahead’s advanced aluminum sticks at your favorite drumshop during February, March and April. Accept the challenge to enter weekly online contests.

This gives you the chance to win free Ahead sticks, drumpads, gloves, stick bags, shirts and hats while those who purchase a pair of the popular sticks will also receive a free pack of Ahead Grip Tape.

Every pair of Ahead aluminum sticks outlasts 6 to 10 pair of even the best wood sticks. By incorporating designs with a strong yet lightweight, aerospace-grade aluminum, Ahead sticks are able to achieve a 50% reduction in vibration and a weight and balance variance of less than 1% compared to conventional sticks.

These breakthroughs make Ahead sticks strong, consistent and ultra comfortable—producing less stress, less fatigue and a more natural response that protects hands and wrists from damage and drums and cymbals from breakage.

In addition, the replaceable, polyurethane (plastic) outer sleeves as well as the aluminum handles and core are 100% recyclable.

Used and endorsed by drumming artists Tommy Lee, Lars Ulrich and Phil Rudd, and chosen by many others of today’s top rock, pop, latin, r&b/gospel and country players, Ahead drumsticks are available in a wide range of drumset, marching and concert models plus a full selection of interchangeable nylon tip and mallet sizes, shapes and hardnesses.

Visit any participating drumshop or music dealer to take the Ahead drumstick challenge.
