By Rick Urban

Ahead’s FatBeat 5A drumsticks are the best sticks for Metal players constantly breaking sticks and are sick of buying replacements. These all-metal sticks feel a lot different than their wooden counterparts because they don’t have a natural bounce and feel very light so you don’t need to work hard to create a lot of volume.
Aheads Fatbeat 5As are actually thinner than the other sticks I’d recommend for Metal, but create a lot of sound because of their all-metal manufacture. While they can’t be broken with normal use, these sticks can be bent but they feature replaceable plastic tips and a plastic covering wrapping around the shafts. If you can get used to the feel, these are the best sticks for Metal music.Rating: 4/5
