Tip refill for Ahead drumsticks. I bought them for the Lucky Lehrer models and they fit like a glove. A must-have for any user of these large drumsticks.

Questions frequently asked
Which Ahead sticks are compatible with this tip?
This ST801 tip is compatible with Ahead sticks using MT, MTW, or WMT sleeves.
What is the shape and material of the tip?
The oval profile is made of black nylon. Its diameter is 1 cm.
How is the Ahead 5ATB replacement tip installed?
The sleeve should be slightly heated with a hairdryer or a conventional oven, not a microwave. After checking the aluminum ring, the tip is screwed on with a drop of super glue on the threading. Tightening is done until contact with the sleeve.
What sound does an oval wood-type tip produce?
The "wood tip" profile promotes an organic attack and familiar definition on cymbals, with precise articulation on toms and snare drum.
Is this tip suitable for an electronic drum kit?
It is intended for use on both acoustic and electronic drum kits. The 5ATB reference allows the stickâs weight and balance to be maintained after replacing the worn part.
