Ahead 2B Baqueta

One of Ahead's most durable drumsticks, designed to withstand the toughest drummers. This drumstick is the same size as the 5B but slightly heavier.

Breaking drumsticks is something no drummer wants, especially during a gig or recording session. At Tam Tam Percusión, we know how costly this can be for many of you, which is why we're excited to offer these drumsticks with an aluminum rear shaft. They last between 6 to 10 times longer than traditional hickory wood drumsticks.

• Gentler on the wrists: ideal for those with carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis
• Manufactured with precise tolerances (+/- 1g) for the perfect pair every time

About  Ahead 
Drummer and engineer Rick Grossman noticed a trend in sports gear during the 1990s. Wooden baseball bats and hockey sticks were being replaced by lighter, more durable aluminum versions. Grossman realized this technology could be applied to drumsticks and developed a prototype, founding the company Ahead. Ahead's drumsticks have gained popularity among Metal artists and many drummers across genres, seen in the hands of Lars Ulrich, Mick Fleetwood, and Tommy Lee, among others.
Ahead is one of the most respected brands in rock and metal drumming. They revolutionized the drumstick industry with a product that lasts 6 to 10 times longer than wood, reduces vibrations to prevent injury, minimizes cymbal and drumhead damage, and features interchangeable tips—so for a modest price, you get a brand-new drumstick.
