ive had 3 pairs of ahead joey jordisons, my first pair lasted until now pero nawala yung isa, my second pair was sold, then my third pair broke last week, both piece in one day but ive used it for over a month. the core is made of aluminum alloy, very light pero hollow yung loob, then the outer material is some kind of plastic. the outer material or the so called taper is what gives them their weight. yung looks nya panalo talaga pero malayo talaga sya sa wood sticks. kung ako tatanungin mas gusto ko yung wood. yung aheads kasi maganda kapag bago, then after a week or two medyo pangit na. and medyo mahina yung attack nya compared sa wood, medyo dull sya sa cymbals lalo na sa ride kung gagamitin mo yung tip. sa feel naman, medyo maninibago ka, hindi sya matalbog sa drums tulad ng wood sticks. and they get worse as they wear out. another downside is walang available tapers dito sa atin, and mahal pa yung aheads.
so kung tibay and porma, sa ahead ka na. kung sensitive ka sa tunog and feel ng drum mo, i say mag wood sticks ka nalang. mura pa.
pero kung madami ka pera mag ahead ka nalang nga, pahingi nalang ako ha! hehehe!
