Check the listing for details. Ahead RockStix - Heavy. Condition: New. Listed at 28.99 USD. Light Sound, Built to Take Abuse Need a quiet stick that's up for an all-night gig? You have two options: buy a few pairs of your favorite rods, or buy one pair of Ahead Rockstix Heavy. The synthetic fibers in these rods are made from the same material as the bristles used in street sweepers. These fibers produce a light texture on drums and cymbals that's great for jazz and quiet stage shows, but they're also built for abuse. Sweetwater drummers were quick to note the durable, adjustable rubber bands used to bundle the rods. Too often the heat shrink on other rods cracks and swells; these won't! Pair these advantages with an ergonomic rubber handle and Ahead's Vibration Reduction System, and the Ahead Rockstix Heavy are a solid option for drummers who want more miles from their rods.
