Since 1992, our mission at AHEAD has been to listen to drummers and percussionists first and foremost and to develop and bring to market new and innovative products for all drummers, beginners to touring professionals. From drumsticks and hardware, to cases and hearing protection, our focus is twofold. First, pursue innovative excellence in creating products that go beyond traditional design. Second, provide superior levels of excellence in customer service that reflects a belief that a satisfied customer is our greatest asset. Our products are engineered to last and excel beyond what competitors offer.
AHEAD Drumsticks are made of an aerospace grade aluminum tubing where the upper half of the stick has a replaceable polyurethane cover and threaded tip. AHEAD was designed to out perform wood in almost every way. They have 50% less shock and can last up to 6 to 10 times longer then most similar sized wood models. The flex allows drummers to play fast with less effort because they rebound up to 10% better. AHEAD polyurethane covers are high impact, cut resistant and they act as a shock absorber that protects the aluminum shaft, drum hardware, and yes, even cymbals.
The most comfortable and supportive drum throne that you'll ever own. The Ergokinectic™ technology eliminates tail-bone compression and supports the way your body moves, by maximizing your flexibility around the kit while minimizing fatigue and stress to your shoulders, hips and back. Give your career the gift of longevity with the AHEAD Spinal-G Throne.
Ahead makes a practice pad for every drummer. A brush pad for jazz drummers. A sticky pad that defies gravity. A pad that straps on to your knee for drummers on the go. A pad with a 1.75 inch playing surface for drummers who can't hit the side of a barn. A bunch of marching-specific pads with replaceable laminates and a marching bass drum practice pad that you can play with marching bass drum mallets.
