Ahead Speed Metal JJ1 Drumsticks

Product Description

Speed Metal is Ahead's signature model built for hard hitters, originally developed with Joey Jordison (Slipknot). The core is aircraft-grade aluminum, wrapped in a durable, replaceable plastic sleeve that protects the sticks as well as your drums and cymbals. The result is sticks that last far longer than regular wood sticks and are quick and cheap to repair instead of replace.

• Aircraft-grade aluminum core
• Replaceable plastic sleeve (model MT) – lasts up to 5 times longer than wood sticks
• Replaceable tip (model 5AT)
• Built-in Vibration Buffering System (VBS) reduces hand fatigue

Built to last

The sleeve takes the wear instead of the stick itself. When it wears down or breaks, you simply replace the sleeve – it's cheap and quick, so you don't have to buy a new pair of sticks every time you play hard. The tip (5AT) is replaceable too, letting you fine-tune the feel without swapping the whole stick.

Less fatigue, more control

The built-in VBS vibration-buffering system dampens the shock that otherwise travels up into your hands during hard playing. In practice, that means less fatigue in your wrists and forearms, making it easier to keep up the same intensity through a whole set or a long rehearsal. The sticks are also ergonomically shaped and well balanced, which is part of why they're used by drummers like Lars Ulrich, Tommy Lee, and Peter Criss.

Warranty

Ahead offers a 60-day replacement warranty against broken sticks. Never play with a damaged sleeve or broken tip – it will needlessly wear down both the sticks and your drums and cymbals.
