Ahead Sex Wax

I must say this product surprised me when I first purchased it as I was a bit skeptical as to how well it was going to work. It does a great job of keeping the drumsticks in your hand.

It can be very frustrating at times if your drumsticks are always slipping out of your hands and you constantly have to reach for a new one. This product does such a good job of keeping the stick in your hand that it actually makes it harder to spin the drum sticks in between your fingers.

Pros:
1) Helps prevent drumsticks from slipping out of your hands.

2) Can be applied to hands quickly.

3) Pleasant smell.

Cons:
1) It has to be washed off your hands as it does not wipe off easily.

Summary:
This is a very cheap product that will last a very long time and is useful. It's worth buying this product even just to see how well it works.

I have very dry skin, and I find that drum sticks tend to slip out of my hands a lot.
I was getting sick of using stick/finger tape, as I find it just starts to peel off after a few sessions from the sticks.
When I got this I said I'd just try it, and was I surprised! I keep it in an old Nivea hand cream tub, and before every gig, and practice I take it out and give it a good rub into my hands rather than on the stick as I find this creates better traction.
I will never look back after using the Ahead Wax. It washes off very easily after a gig, and it also prevents your hands tom sweating too much, as my friend borrowed mine to try it out.
10/10.

An amazing product that I would recommend to all my dry skin brothers in arms out there!

I find that this stuff works for me. You've got to apply it when your hands are dry, before you are pouring sweat because at that point it won't adhere to the stick or your hand.

Best is to apply directly to stick.

It makes your hands gross and your sticks gross and your kit eventually marked up and gross, but these things can be cleaned. It helps with grip somewhat. It is awful on coated rough heads.

I don't think it is an essential, I think a sweat rag is an essential, but I found it does help prevent slippage and gives a little more confidence in a looser grip and more articulate fulcrum playing.

It smells kind of neutral and inoffensive, I'd suggest trying it because it is cheap and will last forever.

This is actually a wax originally used on surfboards to avoid slipping on the top side. I've always had a problem that when I sweat during playing, sticks seem to slip off my hands easily. I've tried with gloves, but I get very warm with those. Works well on drumsticks, and is not too "sticky" and does not alter the feel of the stick (as tape does, for me). So all in all a good "anti slip" product for the sticks. Only downside is how it's packaged; just a plastic wrap, which means you need some sort of "box" to keep it from attracting dirt. Apart form that, great product!
