Ahead Mallets

Ahead’s Felt Mallet range is built for drummers and percussionists who need rich, warm cymbal swells and expressive dynamic control. Available in soft, medium, and hard variations, each mallet features a high-quality felt head and lightweight alloy handle for a comfortable, balanced feel. Whether you’re enhancing orchestral passages, adding dramatic flourishes in a live setting, or layering textures in the studio, these mallets offer the articulation and durability you can rely on. For added versatility, the Ahead Switch Stix combine a standard 5A drumstick on one end with a felt mallet on the other – perfect for players who need to switch quickly between rhythmic precision and atmospheric cymbal work without changing tools. With Ahead’s mallets and hybrid designs, you get performance-ready gear that expands your creative range.
