These chopsticks are great. The grip is superb, they look great and are really extremely solid. The cymbals still eat up the coating, but that's great because it doesn't change for much. That's why we pay a lot for them but at least they don't break, unlike the wooden chopsticks that kept me on repeat.
So go! These drumsticks are for those who don't want to stop being a beginner and doing extreme genres.Automatically translated

I have just received these beautiful chopsticks!
The delivery was very fast, only 1 day of waiting.
In addition, the sticks are much up to what I expected from them, easy to handle, flexible, light, equipped with a superb grip and an anti-vibration that absorbs 50% of the shocks!
The quality largely justifies the high price of these chopsticks.
I highly recommend them to any drummer!

Questions frequently asked
Are Ahead JJ1 Speed Metal sticks suitable for fast metal?
This 5A size model measures 39.85 cm with a diameter of 1.37 cm. Its aluminum construction and weight of 52 g target heavy playing at high tempo, especially in metal, hard rock, punk, and fusion.
What playing feel do Ahead Speed Metal sticks offer?
The polyurethane sleeve absorbs some of the shocks and helps relieve wrists, forearms, and shoulders. The rebound is claimed to be 5% higher than that of wood.
What is the sound of the JJ1 tip?
The 5AT oval tip, made of unbreakable nylon, is designed to provide a sound almost identical to that of a wooden tip. It delivers a precise attack on snare and toms. On cymbals, the MT sleeve helps filter some of the shocks.
Can the sleeves and tips of Ahead JJ1 be replaced?

How to change the sleeve of Ahead JJ1 sticks?
The tip must be removed before the sleeve, then the worn sleeve can be slightly heated with a hairdryer or in a conventional oven, never in a microwave. During reassembly, the tip is screwed in halfway before applying a drop of super glue on the thread.
