Description

What happens when you combine the controlled chaos of broomsticks with the pointed articulation of a traditional drumstick? You get the Ahead Tipstick – a rod-style stick that doesn’t compromise on response. The nylon tipstick end delivers a more focused attack than traditional rods, while the bundled polymer strands offer warmth, flexibility, and a brush-like texture ideal for nuanced grooves and dynamic playing. Whether in acoustic jazz cafés, unplugged sets, or layered studio tracks, these hybrid rods adapt to your musical voice.

Sound & Feel:

  • Defined Cymbal Articulation – Nylon tip projects with clarity, even in subtle passages
  • Balanced Dynamics – Bundled fibres yield soft attack with punch when needed
  • Comfortable Grip – Slightly thicker handle fills the hand without added fatigue
  • Creative Control – Hybrid feel bridges traditional and experimental playing styles

Durable by Design:

  • Crafted with high-quality synthetic fibers to withstand extended use
  • Tipstick technology enhances stick longevity and playing versatility
  • Designed for professional application in both live and studio settings

Ideal For:

  • Drummers exploring textures beyond wood and nylon tip sticks
  • Players in acoustic, indie, folk, or experimental genres
  • Percussionists seeking low-volume tools without losing articulation
  • Musicians wanting hybrid control for expressive, dynamic performances
