Drumsticks Ahead 5ABC

Ahead 5ABC is a hybrid drumstick model that combines a 5B-type handle with a thinner 5A-type shaft, providing an optimal balance between power and sensitivity. Thanks to this design, the model is ideal for drummers who need more weight in their hands, but with the fast attack and articulate sound of a 5A. The sticks are 16.25“ long, 0.595” in diameter, and weigh only 54 g, making them extremely maneuverable even during intense playing.

The sticks are made of a high-precision aluminum shaft covered with removable polyurethane tips that reduce stress on the instruments and minimize impact on the hands. The nylon tip produces a warm, wood-like sound that works well on both drums and cymbals. Hyper-Form Swaging technology increases reliability and extends the life of the sticks by 6-10 times compared to wooden counterparts. The built-in VRS system reduces vibration, and the ergonomic handle shape promotes comfort even during long sets.
