Protect Your Wrists, Improve Your Grip

Here at Sweetwater, we take our health and the health of our customers very seriously. That's why our drummers say that all hard rock and metal drummers simply need a pair of these Ahead drum gloves. The repetitive strain that these high-energy, hard-hitting genres require can take a serious toll on your wrists over time, potentially leading to carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) down the road. Ahead drum gloves can help safeguard against CTS, as well as help you keep a firmer grip on your sticks. They're used by top drummers such as Frank Zummo (Sum 41, Electric Callboy) and Arejay Hale (Halestorm), and are built to last. They feature shock-absorbing wrist supports and reinforced pads at the thumb and index finger for a rock-solid fulcrum. Ahead drum gloves also sport a Spandex/Lycra/thin leather construction, which provides a barely there grip between sticks and hands so you don't need to worry about losing your natural stick feel. Finally, Ahead supports their drum gloves with a limited 30-day warranty.
