Ahead Lars Ulrich Signature LU
Product Description
Ahead Lars Ulrich Signature sticks are built around an aircraft-grade aluminium core with a replaceable plastic sleeve on the outside – a construction designed to outlast standard wood sticks under hard playing. This is Lars Ulrich's (Metallica) signature model, made for drummers who play hard and don't want to replace sticks every week.
Replaceable sleeve and tip
What wears out is the sleeve, not the core itself. The sleeve (model LT) is claimed by Ahead to last up to 5 times longer than a wood stick, and is cheap and easy to swap. The tip (model SAT) is replaceable too, so you can fine-tune feel and sound without buying a whole new pair.
Vibration dampening for longer sets
Ahead's sticks include a built-in vibration reduction system (VBS) in the core, meant to reduce hand fatigue. In practice this shows up as a softer response in the hand during long, heavy sets, helping you keep up both speed and precision.
Who It's For
These sticks are aimed at drummers who play hard and long – Ahead is used by players such as Lars Ulrich, Tommy Lee, Joey Jordison and Peter Criss. Ergonomically shaped grips give a balanced feel in the hand. Ahead backs the sticks with a 60-day replacement warranty against breakage – but warns against playing with a damaged sleeve or broken tip, which should be replaced before continuing to play.
