Questions frequently asked
Are the Ahead M1CX suitable for Drum Corps and marching?
This model is designed for marching band, Drum Corps, and brass band use, with a length of 43.18 cm and a diameter of 1.57 cm. Its weight of 88 g and long shaft provide the leverage needed for marching dynamics.
What sound does the Ahead M1CX nylon tip produce?
The wide round nylon M1T tip delivers a bright and defined attack. This design promotes clear articulation on fast rolls and tight rhythms.
Can the sheaths and tips of the M1CX be replaced?
It is possible to replace the M1S sheath, the M1T tip, and the RGBM ring. The M1T, XLTIP, M1TW, XLMB, and M2TIP tips are compatible, as well as the MHLM, MHMM, and MHHM threaded felt heads. To change the sheath, the tip must first be removed, then the worn sheath slightly heated to soften it.
What is the rebound difference with these aluminum sticks?
The aluminum structure combined with the polyurethane sheath provides a rebound claimed to be 5% higher than that of wooden sticks. The sheath also helps limit shock transmission to the hands.
Are the Ahead M1CX sticks well balanced?
Manufactured in the USA with a high-precision alloy, they show weight and balance variations under 1%. Each pair is thus designed to maintain a consistent response between the two sticks.
