This review is from: Ahead 5B ROCK Aluminum Drum Sticks (Electronics)

These are probably the best sticks I have ever used. I was turned on to Ahead sticks after seeing Peter Criss and Matt Sorum using them. I did some research on these sticks and found out they were made by Easton, the same company that makes hunting bows and baseball bats. I tried a pair of the 5B Ahead sticks, and I thought they were good. A little heavy, but good. I decided I liked them, and bought these kind. When I got them, I instantly fell in love with them. These kind feel as light as wood sticks to me, and they perform very nicely. The only difference that I have noticed with these sticks are that they seem to make my drums a little louder, but maybe that's just me. In short, these sticks are great sticks, they will last for a long, long time, and is deffinatly worth the price you pay.
