Questions frequently asked
Which Ahead sticks are compatible with this tip?
This XLMB tip is compatible with Ahead sticks using M1S, M2S, or SST sleeves.
What material is the XLMB tip made of?
The tip is made of Delrin, a white nylon. Its diameter is 1.27 cm and it has a wide round profile.
What sound does an Ahead Delrin tip produce on cymbals?
Delrin produces a crisp attack and a defined brightness. The clarity is especially suited to rides and hi-hats, with precise articulation for ghost notes.
How to replace an Ahead XLMB tip?
It is recommended to unscrew the tip, then gently heat the worn sleeve with a hairdryer or conventional oven, never a microwave. The new sleeve is heated before insertion after checking the aluminum ring. A drop of super glue on the threading then allows screwing the tip back until it contacts the sleeve.
When should an Ahead stick tip be replaced?
Replacement is recommended as soon as the tip shows marks, to preserve attack and limit stick wear.
