Ahead Replacement Tips – Zytel

AHEAD drumsticks are built around a durable aluminium core specifically so that the parts which wear out — the cover and the tip — can be replaced instead of throwing away the whole stick. This listing is a replacement pair of tips, made from tough, unbreakable Zytel nylon, sized for AHEAD’s medium-taper (5A/7A) models.

Zytel is a high-performance nylon resin chosen for its impact resistance and consistent feel, giving a warm, wood-like sound on cymbals and heads without the chipping or splintering you’d get from a worn wooden tip. Swapping in a fresh pair takes a few minutes and restores full rebound and tone to an otherwise serviceable stick.

A low-cost way to extend the life of your AHEAD sticks, and a handy item to keep in a gig bag or drum tech kit.
