Product Description

Replacing your drum heads is a great way to restore the sound of drums that have lost their punch and give new power to your kit. Improving your drums' sound can make a huge difference to your play. Whether your kit is fresh out of the box or practically antique a new set of heads that are designed for your style can really increase the quality of your tone.

We've all at one point or another stuffed a duvet or a cushion in a bass drum and expected it to make a positive difference to the tone. In all likely hood it probably did help to reduce unwanted resonance but in truth it probably killed all the liveliness that makes drums sound exciting too. Then we all started taping or sticking things to the skins with more or less the same results: you win some you lose some. Well Remo are trusted as industry leading manufacturers of drum heads and they've decided to put an end to this hit and miss approach to drum dampening. The Remo Powerstroke Pro series are bass drum heads with astoundingly engineered sonic treatment built right onto the head itself. Four different types of acoustic foam are used in precision to provide the perfect balanced yet lively tone. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon with less technology than that!

For the very best bass drum heads money can buy, look no further and kiss goodbye to tonal compromise

This product is the 22 Inch Coated Version

Basic Guide to heads

There are 2 kinds of head on each drum. The side that you hit is the batter head while the bottom skin is a resonant head.They come in single- or two-ply (1 or 2 layers of material) construction in a variety of materials and finishes.

You get an increased resonance and sustain with one-ply heads, while heavy hitting music can sound better on the heavier double-ply heads.

Skin Thickness

The drum head's thickness is another thing to consider. Thinner, single layer heads have a sensitive response, with bright, resonant sound and complex overtones.

Thicker single-ply heads are more durable and have a higher tuning range with less sustain and more attack than thinner heads.

Two-ply heads have less attack and a quicker decay for a focused tone. They can take a serious pounding so if you're slamming away with a double pedal this might be your best choice.

Dotted heads

Some batter heads have a dot affixed to the top or bottom of the head to muffle excess ring. This gives you a more focused, drier sound. Some players still put a line of duct tape on to achieve this same effect but the results are unpredictable and it really spoils the look of the kit.

Note: If you use brushes you're going to want to stick with heads using dots on the head's underside to avoid snagging a bristle.

Coated heads

Drum heads with a white or black coating give a subtle muffling effect. Some have internal sound rings embedded around their outer perimeter to control excess ring.

Many jazz drummers put clear heads on the toms and a classic white-coated head on the snare drum, as the texture of a coated snare head sounds better with brushes. The bottom head on the snare drum is known as the snare-side head, a transparent, extra-thin head that maximizes response to the snare wires.

Bass Drum heads

Bass drum heads can include an internal dampening system on the batter head to provide a controlled sound and a port hole for improved tone and to make it easy to fit a mic. Port hole protector rings are also available to prevent your drum head from ripping or denting when fitting a mic.
