Ahead RSL RockStix Light Rods

These sticks are perfect for any drummer looking for a durable set of rods. They have a built-in vibration reduction system and a replaceable polyurethane cover so you can play as long as you want without worrying about the bristles holding up. The built in vibration reduction system also drastically reduces hand fatigue. I would definitely recommend these sticks to any drummer. I believe Ahead are the worlds currently leading drum stick manufacturer.

For sticks that cost as much as these do, you would expect them to hold up a bit better. I am returning mine under my 30 day money back guarantee as they don't live up to "The Most Futuristic Sticks" that Ahead promise them to be.

Am using these on my practice kit with mesh heads and cymbal mutes and these are my preferred rods to use. They are heavier than wooden ones but on a kit with bouncier mesh heads this is useful, and stick definition is nice and quiet on the cymbals.

For acoustic playing my preference would say they are a bit too heavy feeling, but that's not why I bought them :)

Great pair of sticks. Brings down the volume substantially during practice.

These rods are very solid. A bit on the heavy side, however but very different sound from the regular wood sticks rods. I really like the metal stick bases as they give a certain color when playing cymbals.

I truly recommend them!
