Ahead 7A

Product Description

The Ahead 7A is a drumstick made from aircraft-grade aluminum, fitted with a durable, replaceable plastic sleeve that protects both the stick and your drums and cymbals. The sleeve lasts up to five times longer than a wood stick, and the built-in Vibration Buffer System (VBS) reduces hand fatigue so you can play longer and faster.

The idea is simple: instead of replacing the whole stick when it wears out, you swap the sleeve and tip. That makes Ahead a cost-effective, sustainable choice over time, and lets you fine-tune feel and tone by swapping to a different tip.

Construction

The core is an aluminum shaft, while the sleeve (designated MT on this model) and tip (5AT) are separate, replaceable parts. The sticks are ergonomically shaped and balanced for a consistent grip through long sets.

Who It's For

Ahead sticks are used by several of today's hardest-hitting drummers, including Lars Ulrich, Tommy Lee, Joey Jordison and Peter Criss, which says something about how they hold up under heavy, frequent use. A solid choice if you play a lot and are tired of buying new sticks every time a tip breaks.

Ahead offers a 60-day replacement warranty against broken sticks. Never play with a damaged sleeve or tip – replace it before continuing to play.
