Great sticks, but heavy!

I bought a pair of the XL sticks here after finally breaking a pair of the Ahead Rock Drumsticks (It took me about 2-3 years). The XL's are longer, and a lot heavier. The extra weight made it easy to leave tip dents in my drumheads, especially my roto-toms. I went back to another pair of the regular Rock sticks because they are much lighter.

These babies are the king daddy over Ahead sticks.They are large,long,heavy and pack a wallop. Ive played drums for over 25 years so I know what Im talkin about. Ive used every ahead stick thats made, Ive even broke(yes BROKE) 2 pair. They are NOT unbreakable but I guarantee you all that these are the toughest sticks on the planet! I will only use Ahead sticks in a gig cause any wooden pair lasts me about 5 minutes.Woodies are just practice sticks for me :o).

good, although not the best

I have a bad habit of breaking sticks fast. these are good for heavy hitters, but not the best. the head is too round, and can easily punch a hole through a drumhead. they are a little to top heavy, but will start to feel lighter over time.

I'm a 15 year old drummer and I go through sticks like crazy and I decided to pick theese up. But in about a week the sleeve cracked. So i wouldent suggest using theese sticks. But the Joey joridson ahead drumsticks are awsome. I will always play with ahead just not this type.
