AHEAD drumsticks thread

[vincher]

finoward ko na sa ahead yung link ng thread na ito. let us see kung ano sagot nila. I'll keep you guys updated.thanks

[vincher]

here is the reply:

The first one broke at the handle looks like its several years old at best. Not sure about the rest but

The sticks have a 60 day warranty. They are not indestructible. If you let me know what model and how long they lasted I may be able to make some suggestions. Our sticks usually last as long as 6 pair of comparably sized wood drumsticks. They also have 1/2 the shock of wood, so they are much better for your hands.

Yup, the AHEADs are indeed not indestructible.  I know the rubberized replacement covers would eventually wear off.  But should their aluminum shaft break that easily? 

Obviously I'm no longer covered by its warranty.  And my stick broke when it was already way past its 60-day warranty coverage.  This was 5 years ago.  Mine's a 5B model.  Their reply seems to be a generic response hehe sorry no offense.

[vincher]

with regards to the aluminum shaft ( yung butt side), I asked cavsdieagram if he used the sticks butt side to hit the drum.di pa sya sagot. how long were you able to use your stick before it broke? did it have tearings on the shaft?
tinanong ako for details which i don't know the answers, kaya yan ang nareply.

Mga one year ko rin nagamit, more or less.  The only wear and tear I noticed are the ones from its covers, which is normal naman for the stick.

Hi Sir Vinci...sorry for the late reply... hhmm, I got the stick from Mod Suspendead...meron na agad sya maliit na crack nun. Pero matagal ko din sya nagamit then pansin ko na lumalaki yung crack, umabot sya ng half inch...Then one practice namen, in the middle of the song...biglang nahati yung stick... Sorry pero ang nipis po pala sir nung aluminum na handle. Ayun, yun lang po comment ko...salamat sir vinci

Baka sir hindi mo napapansin butas na pala yung cover, at ang tumatama sa cymbals/rimshots ay yung mismong aluminum na.. Yun kasi ang napapansin ko sa 'kin, pag marami nang tama yung cover at hindi ko pa din pinapalitan, nagkakaron ng scratches/dents yung mismong aluminum ng stick.. Mahirap kasi mapansin kung normal dents/scratches lang ba yung nasa cover or butas na talaga since black sila pareho nung aluminum..
Ako habit ko na sa ahead ko ang pagkapa ko kung may butas na ba yung taper or gasgas pa lang..

[drumster]

^ I just checked the cover which came with my damaged AHEAD stick.  Despite its normal wear and tear, buo pa rin yung cover eh.  Hindi nag-pierce through para ma-expose yung core.

[autoexec]

Ganun ba sir.. Malas naman, siguro nga defective talaga yung napunta sa inyo...

[bugoy]

i had one and sold it right away  , di ako marunong magbasa kasi akala ko solid na makapal na aluminum yung nasa gitna. pag dating ng order ko di pala hehe not what i was expecting

[mylesthedrummer]

sir sa states ko po binili mga 3 years ago na din eh..

[vincher]

ah 6months lang ang warranty ng ahead. pinalo mo yung butt area? pag pinalo kasi yung butt area it voids the warranty. Hope I could be more help to you. di bale if you wish to  get another  ahead at mabale ulit within the warranty period ako mismo magproprocess ng replacement mo  .please visit our website, www.thedrumshopmanila.com  Thanks!

ah mukang ok din ang sticks ng ahead ah!

magkano kaya yung replacement cover nya? and yun mga black na kulay...hindi ba nakakahawa ng kulay to sa cymbals?

i had a black pair of zildjian sticks noon, e i used it for my kit, (pang display lang ata dapat yun, e nainggit ako sa guidance councilor namin kaya bumili rin ako ng pares ko..heheh), ayun nagkaron ng marks yun cymbals ko...or maybe because it also had a black nylon tip...

salamat salamat
