    This is absolutely the best stick on the planet hands down -- the craftsmanship and the weight, the balance and the taper....everything about this stick is unbelievable amazing especially the playability -- I've been able to play for 2-3 hrs longer than I've ever been able to play with wood sticks - no joke, and I've been playing in a professional band as a professional recording artist for 10+ years. The only thing that is keeping me from giving it 5's across the board.... is the hand grip. Everything about the stick is fine except the hand grip portion of the shaft needs to be extended about another 1/4-1-2" up the stick towards the tip as sometimes when you play as hard as I do (hard enough to go through three remo clear powerstroke 4? snare heads in a single 8hr recording session) the stick tends to slip out of your hand even with grip tape and finger tape (the slightly extra weight takes a lil getting used to). Also, the butt of the stick is perfect except for one flaw... after prolonged use the white rounded butt starts to flex, wearing down the glue that bonds the white butt to the actual end of the stick and when it comes completely undone, this "white mystery powder" comes spewing out and blows all over the place (on your practice rug, in your face as your fan blows at you during a live performance, etc). Trust me, fix that problem and this will be the company that I do not denounce and hopefully they'll endorse. hehe. -- TC model, not the TS - TS a little bit too small for my taste, I like the 17"+ sticks. Hey, maybe i'll get a custom model? That'd be sweeeeeeeeet! Thanks again A.H.E.A.D.!

    If you get past the weird unbalanced feeling they might be fine to you, although I prefer a normal stick instead. I suppose if you have a problem breaking sticks often you could get these. I would advise to not play without the sleeves as you are not supposed to and can damage your instruments if you do so.

    Not Bad

    By TimmeringTimmy427

    from Macon, Ga

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    I expected these sticks to be indestructible and simply put...they're not. The ability to change out tips and sheaths does allow a lot more customization but at the expense of the huge pain of actually changing them out. I mainly play at church where we play more contemporary rock and the sticks seem to hold up pretty well. Unfortunately, the hollow core means that they can bend or snap after a while. So far I'm not sure whether to go back to my Pro-Mark XL's or stick with these!

    Absorbs shock, u will have less fatigue

    By kendrumsfast

    from Brooklyn

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    Excellent sticks, perfectly straight, weight balanced, absorbs shock from elbow and wrists - what else do you want!! It also has a nice click on the rim of a snare when played for that woodblock sound. These will last forever, you can buy replacement stick parts. You will feel absolutely less fatigue when playing for a few hours, after playing 3 45 min. sets I use to get a little tired, these will make u feel much, much better - really.

    Awesome sticks

    By dbelk68

    from Salina, Ks

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    Just want to inform everyone that i love these stick, I got tired of replacing sticks a couple time a week. If you want more bang for your bucks this is the stick to invest in.These sticks are kinda hard to get us to but after a couple of days you'll grow into them. They have great balance and they give you that extra little bounce, your not going to get tired as easy as you'll find that your not going to have to strike your snare or toms as hard as you might have using wooden stick. Stop wasting your money and buy these sticks as you'll never use anything else as long as your drumming.

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    The old saying goes that you're not a drummer till you break a set of sticks. Well, after going through a set a week, I figured that it was time to look at other brands. Alot of famous people use these stcks, and I wanted to try them. I bought a set of the Tommy Lee signatures, and started using them right away. They are a balanced slightly different then wood sticks, but once you get used to that, I can't seem to find anything bad to say about them. Replaceable parts, anti shock features, 60 day waranty, I really don't see where a person can go wrong.

    Super great sticks

    By Korn/Silveria # 1

    from castleton, VT

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    WOW!!! What great sticks these are. I got a pair of these bad boys and played my first show with them and won't use anything different. They are bigger and heavier sticks, but they handle well and are very comfortable. Buy these sticks. Not being dissapointed GARANTEED

    Where are the Sleeves?

    By Dominican Drummer

    from New York City

    Comments about Ahead Tommy Lee Silver Series Drumsticks:

    It says that you can replace the sleeves, but where do you get them? These sticks are good but they already broke my crash cymbal. I kept playing with the cymbal broken and it sliced my nylon sleeve exposing the metal. Play at your own risk!
