[@ImTheDrummer115]

"Ready?" "Ready!" "Three two one............Hi..."

[@PedroVonSchwidernoch]

You can hear him slightly speeding up while counting..

[@Damianhdz24]

Lars im 10 years old I have been using your drumsticks for 6 years my first pair was the original ones I bought my self a new pair of scary guy ones and before I was born my dad wanted to name my Lars but my mom said no so they named me DAMIAN my last name is Hernandez and the results I look like you when you were little i have long hair because you inspired me so I want to be like you when you were little peace out love you Lars

[@loganswank52]

Damian Panteon That's awesome man, Lars is a great Drummer and is awesome wish I could meet the man

[@zamek4744]

I'm 13 and I started playing drums when I was 3, I always was and I still am inspired by Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Iron Maiden etc. I grew my hair as well and my dad wanted to name me Ozzy after Ozzy Osbourne, but my mom didn't want to so they named me Wiktor.

[@extremestormspotterdavidS]

I might get his drumsticks because I really really really love METALLICA.

[@KinetiK138]

Absolutely yes. On some forums they are a "preferred brand" for edrums.

[@rockdahaus]

Screw the tip of, pull the sleeve. If it won´t come easy, use a hair dryer to warm the sleeve. Than put on the new one, use a little bit of glue for the screw head and screw on the tip again. The packing included a discription. I play them too with stick rapp for gripping, the weight is less than the Gavin Harrison Stick of Vic Firth. And they break too... but they last over a year! I use S-Hoops on snare, i think they break faster with die cast hoops

[@J4ymzz]

For example u can get these drumsticks from Thomann (thomann.de).

[@DrummerElite13]

Instead of spending 8-10 dollars on sticks every couple of weeks, i pend like 3 dollars on new sleeves every couple of months. I've used the same 2 pairs last 3 years now!

[@BigBangDist]

The original Distributor in Greece went out of business during their economic crash. Can you recommend a Dealer or Distributor?

[@paschalnendos1039]

answer!!! does anyone know how we can buy these drumsticks from greece ?

[@lorenzoamador9581]

The fuck was he eating

[@logananderson2256]

looked like cottage cheese and blue berries

[@FutSalKickerz]

Yoghurt or cottage cheese or something....

[@jasperfleming9318]

Lmao "The fuck was he eating"

[@Kingsgio]

+Jasper Fleming i know right?! HAHAHA lmao with this comment

[@cigarettecat3981]

if hit them on the rim does the rim break

[@arjunalco6589]

Ummm

[@85Aheadstix]

Well ive got a feeling guys that break em do not know how to use em properly, yes they are strong but hitting cymbals incorrectly affects their life to, takes chunks out of the covers, bet to avoid that, Ive been playing 17 years and had 5 years of Jazz tution so mabe i have a better technique than alot, there is an art to hitting a cymbal. I still use wood, i warm up with them then go ahead.

[@DillyDilly13]

Problem with those sticks is that they are heavy as hell. Takes a lot to get used too.

[@BigBangDist]

Try the Lars Model LU-SGL, They are the same as a 5B

[@basmesa]

thomann dot com. They ship to greece!

[@Lifezabrees]

how do you replace the sleeves?

[@BigBangDist]

He's awesome, and has a great sense of humor! I wish all artist's were this way.

[@Vakaria-plays]

he knows how to play other wise he wouldnt have done so much for the metal genre or been having a such long and good career, you may not like his drum style but facts are facts. He knows how to play drums he plays them like he wants to play them and he creates the beats that he wants to create and so far he has done that for over 30 years and he is still on the road and people are still looking up to him and other drummers like lombardo has big respect for him so he must be doing something right

[@Mr.Bitchslap]

lars gets so much hate for no reason he was a fuckin great drummer in the 80s

[@BigBangDist]

I really do not understand the hateful stuff said about Lars. He's really an amazing guy and an amazing drummer.

[@spartanX28]

I wouldn't say he's overrated, he gets a lot of unnecessary hate comments to be overrated.

[@Trauma095]

READY! 3-2-1 ! - Hi. ._.

[@Bean2995]

it is cool though. he has lived so long in America that you don't hear his Danish accent.

[@morkik2829]

i wand these drumsticks i am really a fan of you man

[@leslieolmstead82]

Steven Pounsett I also use Joey's sticks

[@albertarmendariz7855]

Who joey Jimenez

[@Mr.Bitchslap]

best sticks ever! (in my opinion)

[@magicsteve5523]

I have a pair, they’re great! I’ve only ever broken one from hitting a rimshot too hard!

[@meabobo]

this sticks is heavy at the front end.

[@85Aheadstix]

As much as I think Lars is a colossal knob, I do use and love Ahead sticks, however they do break! But last 6 to 8 times longer than wood. I've had my Aheads for 2 years.

[@drummerstar1190]

I converted over to Ahead sticks a few months ago what a game changer I still break through the sleeves but it's cheaper to buy the sleeves than it is a new pair

[@davidenobile426]

I've bought those...they're really awesome! Apart from the price, since I live in Italy...but definetely would buy them again!

[@ianhinkle1878]

On every video of One there's always that guy that complains about Lars's double bass. My answer: Can you do that at 53 years old and in front of 50,000+ people?

[@NLDrummerNL]

Yes

[@BigBangDist]

The original Distributor in Greece went out of business during their economic crash. Can you recommend a Dealer or Distributor?

[@starfun17]

i'm pretty sure it's Layne:D

[@magicsteve5523]

I’ve only ever broken one of these by hitting a rimshot way to hard

[@achilles6578]

Thought it was Matt Pinfield who introduced him to em

[@tyteelow]

oh yeah i in another country because i know metallica

[@hmoridejrgen6227]

Thomann(.)de they ship all around in europe

[@dylanfurrowmusic]

they do break. ihave broke at least 6 pairs in under 3rys but still awesome sticks

[@darthcrowlp]

My band's drummer has these. They are really great. A bit heavier than your regular wooden sticks, but that's cool for me. At least they have a better bounce. And if you hit your snare hard - you're going to get deaf!

[@MrMrrazze]

myles i think

[@KostasMoschato]

oh my god!!!! how i can buy this drumsticks i am from greece and i love lars he is my idol this drumsticks are better than the old !!!

[@legolator]

You can break them if you do rim-shots, happened to me several times back when i used to play drums. You get new sticks though because they are not supposed to break. A part from that the sticks are heavier then wooden sticks but that being said they are still good imo and not counting the sticks that cracked in half due to rim-shots i bought a total of 2 pairs over a period of 3½ years, all i had to do was get new sleeves a couple of times.

[@FreshestOfMint]

Just got a pair of these for my dad

[@rubenssz]

If you break a drum stick that easily there's something wrong with your drumming. Even for intense drumming, it's not that simple, they're not glass you know.. Cheers

[@Lenmaenen]

Are these suitable for E-drums?

[@panasthepagan2133]

Αμα μπεις ρε συ στο drumstore νομιζω θα βρεις. Κανενα τριανταρι κανουνε

[@spartanX28]

Sounded more like Myles

[@doman806]

Message to Ahead : Shut up and take my money !

[@PizzaJokesAreCheesy]

I know this is a little bit later, but, you can get them on Ebay or Amazon :D Just helping :)

[@theokoutsouro]

φιλε,αμα δεν εισαι σε μεγαλη πολη,πολυ δυσκολο να τα βρεις

[@BigBangDist]

I think Lars was eating cereal.

[@Hew_Reese]

Got a pair a month ago, love em but I still like the wood better...

[@prasmababy]

Who's filming? Sounds like Myles or Layne?

[@BigBangDist]

Yes!

[@rama_parwata]

They seem very cumbersome.

[@MegaRenato666]

I came here only for Lars :)

my fav drummer of all time ..

[@lauridschesterdragsted6035]

hej lars, håber du læser det,, er selv fra danmark, som dig, har spillet med dine gamle ahead trommerstikker, og synes den er mega fed at spille med, og de ser bare fede ud, mange synes jeg minder om dig på den måde jeg spiller på når jeg bruger dine autograf stikker, er meget stor fan af din, og undre mig stadig over hvordan du spiller stortrommen i dyers eve:)

[@Coilaman]

Lars, you are a humble master of drums.

[@WhyNotMN]

MuristekTV lol

[@dibbo9264]

I have I pair i never knew that's what lars uses

[@waitemc]

I'm telling ya , he's one of the most fun super celebrity musician.

[@Deatheater900]

Are those sticks 5b?

[@miffy626]

+Cory Tweed he has 3 pairs of sticks all different weights and sizes

[@Deadletter6]

I have used both and wood sticks are good but they do break and chip and what not. I would record with wood because they sound a bit better. But Ahead are badass live sticks

[@bigmanvvc]

Пустые понты.... лучше б метроном на концертах себе включал, а то играет как дровосек!
