Detail 02
Two diameters covered, so you can change the stick's feel and cymbal response without buying a new shaft.

Two full pairs' worth of tips, so a broken tip mid-session does not end the gig.
Detail 04
Only works with Ahead's tip-and-sleeve system; tips do not fit conventional sticks.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. They are made for Ahead sticks with replaceable tips. Standard wood sticks have a fixed, turned tip and cannot take them.
Four tips, which covers two pairs of sticks.
They are made to approximate wood tone, so cymbal attack is softer and warmer than a hard nylon tip.
The pack includes both profiles. Fit whichever diameter matches your shaft, and use them to change feel without changing sticks.
