Ahead Crossroads 5B

Product Description

The Ahead Crossroads 5B is an aluminum-core stick with a replaceable plastic sleeve and replaceable tip, built for drummers who play hard and wear through wood sticks fast. The aircraft-grade aluminum core keeps its weight and feel throughout the stick's life, while the sleeve takes the impact instead of your drums and cymbals.

• Aircraft-grade aluminum core that holds its shape
• Replaceable plastic sleeve (WLT) that protects the stick, drums and cymbals
• Replaceable tip (MBT) for a customized feel
• Built-in Vibration Buffer System (VBS) that eases strain on the hands
• Ergonomically shaped handle for a secure grip

Built to last

The sleeve is designed to wear out, not the stick. According to Ahead, the sleeve lasts up to 5 times longer than a standard wood stick, and it's quick and inexpensive to replace once it's worn. The same goes for the tip: if it wears out or breaks, you simply screw in a new one instead of replacing the whole stick.

Easier on your hands

Ahead's built-in Vibration Buffer System (VBS) dampens the shock that otherwise builds up in your wrist during long, hard playing sessions. Less vibration means you can play longer and faster without your grip and forearm giving out.

Who It's For

The Crossroads 5B suits drummers who play hard and often break or wear out sticks, and who don't want to buy new pairs every week. Thanks to the balance and ergonomic handle, it works just as well in the rehearsal room as on stage.

Never play with a damaged sleeve or broken tip. Replace the part before continuing to play. Ahead offers a 60-day replacement warranty against broken drumsticks.
