Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The MHMB fits within Ahead's modular logic: maintaining the consistent feel of the handle while adapting the response to the need (classic playing, softer textures, orchestral passages, or effects). This felt head allows quick switching from a "drumstick" configuration to a rounder approach without changing pairs of sticks.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This felt head is aimed at drummers from beginner to expert levels who want to expand their sonic palette: pop, jazz, acoustic, film music, theater, worship, or any situation seeking a softer impact and warmer spectrum. It is also well suited for drummers alternating between stick playing and "mallet" touches on toms and cymbals.

Questions frequently asked
Ahead felt heads with B thread: which sticks are compatible?
The pair fits on Ahead sticks equipped with a B thread. Compatible sleeves are the references LT, WLT, ST, WST, and STS.
What sound does a medium felt head produce on cymbals and toms?
Thanks to its wool head, this model softens the attack and produces a rounder tone. The contact on cymbals is less bright, while toms gain more warmth.
What are the dimensions of the MHMB felt heads?
With a diameter of 3.18 cm, a thickness of 1.91 cm, and a weight of 9 g, each head has a medium profile.
How to replace the sleeve on a compatible Ahead stick?
To remove the worn sleeve, gently heat it with a hairdryer or conventional oven, avoiding microwave use. The new sleeve must be slightly heated and mounted with its aluminum ring. The cap is then screwed back on with a drop of super glue on the thread before final tightening.
Do MHMB felt heads allow playing at lower volume?
On toms and cymbals, the wool felt smooths transients and encourages a softer attack. This setup is suitable for acoustic passages, orchestral settings, or textures requiring reduced volume.
