Ahead 5BR Rock Sticks

If you're a drummer like me, you love to really give it to the battery while behind the kit! These sticks have great durability thanks to their aluminum base, lasting far longer than any wooden counterparts.

The plastic sleeve covering said aluminum will get worn out and eventually break, but still lasts longer than wood and you can just switch them out to fresh ones for a far cheaper price than buying a whole new pair of sticks. You can also unscrew the tips and replace them with other kinds of tips.

While more expensive than most wooden sticks, their longevity more than makes up for this as you'll only need to buy one set of sticks and replace parts that break or get worn down, rather than buy whole new ones.

I play in a heavy metal band twice a week and I've only had to buy completely new sticks once every two years since I started using these.

Can't recommend enough!
