Ahead Bamstick Heavy

Product Description

The Ahead Bamstick Heavy is one of Ahead's best-selling rods, made in the USA from thick bamboo dowels. They offer strong articulation and exceptional durability, working equally well on drums, cymbals, and cajons. A solid choice if you play anything from rock to jazz and want rods that hold up over time.

• High quality bamboo fibers designed to last 2 to 3 times longer than wood dowel drumsticks
• Excellent articulation for louder musical styles
• Extremely durable thanks to the bamboo construction
• Adjustable rubber bands that won't crack like heat shrink will
• High precision alloy core for more consistent weight and balance
• Ergonomically tuned handles

Build and Feel

The dowels are made from bamboo, a material considerably tougher than standard wood, able to withstand harder playing without splintering. The rubber bands holding the bundle together are adjustable, so you can dial in how open or tight the sound is yourself - and unlike heat shrink tubing, they won't crack over time. Each rod has a high precision alloy core inside, giving more consistent weight and balance from stick to stick so the pair feels the same in both hands. The handles are ergonomically tuned, and the sticks include a built-in Vibration Control System (VRS) for a gentler grip during longer playing sessions.

Who It's For

The Bamstick Heavy suits players who need rods that can handle tougher playing styles - rock, jazz, and everything in between - without wearing out too quickly. Works just as well on a drum kit as on a cajon.
