Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Ahead has established itself with a concept of drumsticks designed to last, based on replaceable components (sleeve and tip) to maintain consistent performance. The 5AS tip fits this logic: a simple part to renew in order to preserve definition and attack without changing your playing habits.

Who This Drumstick/Instrument Is For

This replacement tip is intended for all drummers using compatible Ahead sticks, from beginners to experts. It is particularly suited for styles requiring clarity and articulation (rock, pop, metal, funk), where attack and rebound precision make a difference.

Questions frequently asked

Which Ahead sticks are the 5AS tip compatible with?

This tip is compatible with Ahead sticks using MT, MTW, or WMT sleeves. Its model number is 5AS and its diameter is 1.02 cm.

Is the Ahead 5AS tip made of nylon or Delrin?

The oval tip is specified as being made of Delrin, a nylon-type material. It provides a clear attack and a pronounced brightness on cymbals.

How to replace an Ahead 5AS tip and its sleeve?

First, the tip must be unscrewed, protecting it with a business card or pliers without crushing it, as the threading is glued. The worn sleeve is removed after slight heating with a hairdryer or conventional oven, never a microwave. After inserting the new sleeve and checking the aluminum ring, a drop of super glue is applied on the threading before final tightening.

Is this white tip suitable for rock and metal?

Its clear response and articulation make it suited for styles such as rock, pop, metal, and funk. The Delrin material maintains precise definition on drums and cymbals.
