There was a discussion about anti-vibe sticks earlier, and as a result
I bought a set of Ahead sticks.

I wasn't convinced. I found them less easy to grip (although I hadn't
had lessons then so that could easily have been me), and the place
where the top part connects to the bottom part has a sharp edge
exactly where you want to grip them.

I bought their gripper tape. That gave me blisters, then one of the
tapes came off.

Finally, after about three months of playing (at most an hour a day),
and remember with our kits there are no cymbals, and no rims to hurt
the sticks, one snapped in half. Well, at \ufffd24 a time or so, that
wasn't expected.

So, I'm currently in unhappiness mode with Ahead sticks and I'm back
to really light (7A) wooden ones.
