    I was skeptical about aluminum sticks, but they are durable, the sound quality is good! My only wish, is, that the handles had better grip. They are a little too slippery. Another good thing, can change the tips, and get new slaves, to replace worn ones!

    The whole process went well! I received the order in good time and had no issues other than the fact that 1 pair of sticks was shipped in a package that could fit 40 to 50 pairs of sticks. Super wasteful packaging! Clean it up guys

    I have owned Ahead sticks on and off for years, and love these. The only drawback is it is hard to order the replacement sleeves and tips that mach even from Guitar Center, but i hope that is just because of the fact that they are a new product. The benefits of these are durability and reliability.
