Drumsticks Ahead 5BLTD

Ahead 5BLTD Patriot is a limited edition series of drumsticks that combines Ahead's signature engineering with a striking American flag design. Each stick features unique laser engraving with stars and stripes, and the red, white, and blue colors of the body form a patriotic asymmetrical pair. In addition to its striking appearance, the model features a powerful attack, slightly more weight than the standard 5B, and incredible durability.

The body is made of a high-precision aluminum core, which provides stable weight and balance. The tip is nylon, ST801 type, teardrop-shaped, which adds articulation and brightness to the sound, especially on the cymbals. The surface is covered with replaceable polyurethane pads that protect both the stick and the rim of the cymbals or drums. The model is 16 inches long, 0.595 inches in diameter, and weighs 64 grams. All components are compatible with other Ahead accessories — replaceable tips, rings, and coatings. Thanks to the built-in VRS system, these sticks reduce impact load by up to 50% compared to wooden counterparts.
