Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

For all drummers who are sick of spending their paychecks on stupid vic firth sticks then go Ahead with these sticks (lol) Seriously if you want a strong sound like Lars' then you'll get these sticks. The feel at the hilt of the stick is metal-like so it won't blister your hands too bad. Plus the feeling of the sticks is unique, no other brand can match up to these sticks. A definent must have

These sticks are the legend. These sticks make a great sound on the drums and cymbals. They are really light. If you are a roll freak, These sticks make it the best possible way to make the rolls easy to do and it makes it very crisp. It also protects the life of your drums. When i was using wooden sticks i would replace a drum head every month more or less.Its been 2 and a half years and there arent even dents in the heads. Same with the cymbals. It has a loud and profound effect. But they are still as shiny and smooth as when i bought them

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

these sticks are great for what theyre made for. durability. ive had them for a few months (3-5. not really sure)and theyre not broken, and im a pretty hard hitter. only problem is that the covers get chewed up pretty fast. but theyre like, 5 bucks. i gave it a 4 cuz theyre pretty much good for metal and rock and such. if you like to use the handle for rimshots or wutever, then you wouldnt like these that much. since the handles are metal, its not good for the stick or the cymbals/rims to use them. other than that theyre awesome sticks. the idea to make metal sticks is just pure genius. very ingenuitive. i would say definately get them if youre into metal and hard rock, but if u like to use the handles and need a durable stick, get some thick wood sticks, like the thomas lang model or something.

These sticks are great drumsticks. Not only do they give you an incredibly good grip, but they are balanced to perfection. Although they are on the heavier side they still make great sticks to play rock with. Also, they are the coolest looking sticks ever!! So if you dont have a pair, go and buy some.

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

I haven't played for a while, but when I was playing constantly, they were the best I ever used. I used the same set for a couple of years and they never broke, and rarely had to replace the tips from wear. THE BEST!!!!!

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

Now, this, my friend, is a helluva stick. The core is exceptionally strong, and the tapers hold up like you wouldn't believe. And without the wood-chippings, this stick never loses its reliability. It feels just like it did when I first bought it two weeks ago, and doesn't feel like it's about to give in. Now, this stick is definitely made for rock drumming only. There is a handle area just below the fulcrum, so you cannot traditionally grip this stick. So rudimentary playing is out of the question. Also, this stick, like every other Ahead stick, is quite heavy. So this is definitely for those looking for a whole lotta impact without reservations. Also, what Metallica fan doesn't just get giddy at seeing the logo and Lars' signature on the handle?

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

These feel great and I now prefer them over wooden ones. The only thing that i don't like about them is after a while of use the shoulder tends to get beat up rather easy from hitting the cymbals. But it doesn't really effect anything other than the feel of the shoulder, it will be rough.

they lasted me for like a year an a half and then ALL OF a sudden **SNAP** SOOO dont think that these sticks are UNBREAKABLE they can break JUST LETTING YOU KNOWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

I bought a pair of these YEARS AGO when they came out. I had beautiful PAISTE Visions cymbals. The plastic wore through, and within ONE SONG, I chipped the finish on ALL of the cymbals I played. Seriously, it messed them up...On another occasion, (yeah, stupid to give another chance) One of the tips came off, revealing the metal threaded end of the stick. METAL THREADED END VS PLASTIC DRUM HEADS AND CYMBALS EQUALS CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO ALL. HUGE DENTS IN THE DRUMS, HUGE DINGS IN THE CYMBALS...ALL IN ONE SONG LIVE. I'll stick to WOOD sticks thank you.

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

Originally i didn't want them, the price seemed too much for a drumstick but on our anniversary my girlfriend bought me some and i LOVE them, they play smooth and i haven't even had to replace the cover yet and its been about a year, some say you will break cymbals but that is a lie, as long as you don't hit stupidly hard with the handle part of your stick you cymbals are perfectly safe

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

ok first of all ahead sticks in general are amazing. they feel great to use, make your drums sound great and last much longer than wooden sticks. now for the lars ulrich sticks, they are great to use and have fun with and to play metallica type drumming, but it can be hard to play very fast or to snare buzz type sounds like fast rolls etc. they have a lot of bounce, because they have a long taper. and the extra length is great too for power hits not speed. oh and make sure to buy the grip tape too otherwise they are impossible to hold onto, trust me grip tape will make a huge difference. just try em out.

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

i bought these sticks about two years ago because lars is my favorite drummer (obviously) and i play a lot of metallica and they haven't let me down, i've practiced with them almost every day and used them for gigs and recording, if you buy these you will not be disappointed, they're the best go and buy them now

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

O.M.G, these sticks are the best. They have a good grip at the front part. They last for almost forever. It does not matter if you are a hard hitter or a soft hitter, it is awesome. If you break a lot of wood sticks, then you should buy these drum sticks. If you are like Lars and go threw like 5 pair of wooden sticks in Blackened on the And Justice for All.. album then these are the sticks you need. I hope this helped you.

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

they look amazing, and they play better. i have never broken a cymbal with these I LOVE THEM!!!

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

If your tired of buying vic firth, promark sticks and breaking them then you should buy ahead sticks. I'v been using them for a yeare and they havent let me down yet. If you dont buy these sticks then you are a disgrace to METALICA!!!!!!!!

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

Nice sticks. They've lasted longer than most others. My son has broke six Ahead thus far.

These feel great in my hands, having playing wood sticks, these have great balance and feel to them, highly recommend these Ahead sticks

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

These are amazing. I purchased them recently, and have not put them down. They really make you sound like Lars out there.

Comments about Ahead Lars Ulrich Drumsticks:

These are the best sticks i have ever played with. I have owned them for about a month and a half and so far no problems. They are loads stronger than wooden sticks. I used to go through about 2 pair of sticks a week now i only have to replace the covers about once a month. This i a very good buy.
