Pseudo-wood

Ahead is a non-wood drumsticks producer, yes? However, they do try to provide something as close as wood sticks. 

Ahead Crossroads Drumsticks

The aluminium  70-75 Easton Alloy core rather than the usual ones. The taper cover of these sticks are different. They are not normal polyurethane but special taper covers with different chemical composition to imitate a wood. It is called "Wood Tone" covers. They provide a much crispier feel and improve cross-sticking.

1st drum post: Drumsticks...

What comes into your mind when you hear the word 'drumsticks'? Is it this? (see below)

A usual wooden drumsticks. 
Many thought that only wood is used to make drumsticks. However, there are alternatives to wood. Drumsticks can also be made of the following:

Aluminium

Polyutherane 

(polymer) Carbon fiber

Need an example of a non-wood drumsticks? Take Ahead for example.

It uses 2 'ingredients' of the above to make their sticks (aluminium and polyutherane). However, are you worried about hitting the drums with an aluminium stick? Are you worried about the shock it would send to you hand? (Everyone knows that aluminium is much denser compare to wood.). Well, I will explain more tomorrow.

Note: Ahead Drumsticks are available at Drums Resources.

Unrelated post..

My today post is unrelated to the guitars. However, I still think it is worth blogging about this.

I was browsing the drums buy and sell section at soft.com.sg when I come across THIS POST.

As you can see in this post, I think someone is trying to buy these drumsticks bags from somewhere, probably from Drums Resources. In fact, the photos were taken from that shop itself. Hmm....
I suspect that one of the staff there is trying to sell these and make money out of the shop's stock. Well, I wouldn't say it IS as I thought since there is no evidence. So I just contact the Nigel, the shop owner about it. He'd confirmed that it is not him.
