Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
At Ahead, wear parts (sleeves and tips) are an integral part of the concept: extending the lifespan of the stick while maintaining consistent response. The 5AT replacement tip fits this "simple maintenance" logic, allowing drummers to regain a coherent attack and stable playing feel without changing the entire stick.
Target Audience for This Drumstick/Product
This Ahead tip is aimed at beginner to advanced drummers who already play on Ahead sticks and want to maintain a consistent touch. It is especially suitable for styles where articulation matters (rock, pop, funk, metal), but also for more nuanced contexts where a more "wood-like" and less bright attack than a very hard tip is desired.

Questions frequently asked
Which Ahead sticks are compatible with the 5AT tip?
The 5AT model is compatible with Ahead sticks using MT, MTW, or WMT shafts.
Is the Ahead 5AT tip made of nylon or wood?
This oval tip is made of white nylon. Its attack is oriented towards a wooden tip type, with a less clicking response than some very hard tips.
What is the diameter of the Ahead 5AT replacement tip?
The stated diameter is 1.02 cm.
How to replace an Ahead MT tip and shaft?
The tip is removed by unscrewing it, taking into account the glue spot applied on its threading. The shaft is gently heated with a hairdryer or in a conventional oven, never in a microwave, to facilitate its removal and then the installation of the new shaft. A drop of super glue is applied on the threading when reassembling the tip.
What tip shape does the 5AT offer for drums?
The 5AT adopts an oval shape. This nylon geometry is designed to preserve a round articulation on cymbals and a definition adapted to fast patterns.
