Lars Ulrich of Metallica now has his own signature set of drum sticks brought to you by the company Easton Ahead. You may know Ahead as the maker of great aluminum baseball bats, but they also make aluminum allow drum sticks, and last has a signature page available.
They feature a replaceable hard polyurethane shoulder on them. This means that as the stick starts to wear from rim shots and hitting the cymbals, all you have to do is replace the shoulder sleeve and you are good to go. No replacing the stick and now worrying about sticks breaking to a killer fill on one of your songs. Imagine that, not having to worry about breaking a stick mid song and having to try and pick up a new stick while keeping the beat.
These sticks are designed for harder hitting players in the rock and metal genre. They have great volume and projection, but are lighter due to design and won’t weigh you down. They will help you player fast and harder for a longer period of time. The response of the stick is great. Although a lot of the vibration is absorbed by the stick saving your hands and wrists from stress, they are surprisingly agile and playful. Many say that the bounce is great and that rolls are a lot easier.
