Just sounds really cheap, not the brand but just this lower level skin... get one with a ring inside, this one doesn't have it and sounds tingy.

Dixon 911DB Bass Drum Pedal Review

Dixon 911DB Bass Drum Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I can't praise this pedal or this company enough. I have two kits, a 25 year old fusion set of Pearl Exports and a Mapex Saturn pro rock kit (John Bonham style). The Pearls I take on the road to practices and jams while the Mapex kit stays in the studio. I'm not gigging much anymore so I can't qualify myself as a professional drummer, but I've been playing rock, fusion, country, rockabilly and pop for 40 years at a semi-pro level. Initially, when it came time to buy a new pedal, I was going for a single, but when I saw the Dixon double, and compared prices, I went for the double. It's really a great deal, in some cases, by comparison to some single pedals, it's a two for the price of one deal. You may ask, why would a single pedal rock drummer who doesn't really play metal and who plays a mean high hat even want a double bass pedal? And that's a good question. The reason is that there are plenty of times when a single pedal drummer can get a certain sound or effect with a double bass pedal, whether it's playing the occasional quad riff or just ending a song with a sustained combination cymbal roll/bass roll. You don;t have to be a metal drummer to enjoy the fruits of the double bass pedal. Anyway, these pedals have a great response and they're smooth and quiet. They're built well and have all the necessary adjustments. More to the point, this is a company that stands by its products. ~seabgb

Gathering Drum Review

Best thing I ever purchased for my son. He's been playing since age 6 months. Worth 10X what we paid for it. Its made to last. Occasionally after a set he will stand on it and announce something in baby gibberish which I take to mean "thanks to Remo for making me so happy".

Children will want to gather around this drum! Can be played with hands, sticks, or mallets, and is large enough to accommodate 2 or more players. This drum can be used in science activities to illustrate vibration of sound. 22"W x 7 1/2 "H.

Excellent product to extend the life of my kick drum's expensive EQ/Emad heads. Also tones down the attack a bit too. Adhesive is excellent and it doesn't peel or curl off! I use these all the time and also use the clear version for clear heads. AAA+++

Evans EMAD 5-Piece Drumhead Pack Review

Evans EMAD 5-Piece Drumhead Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Amazing! I was looking for a low cost but high quality head pack to replace the factory heads on my set. These totaly transformed the sound of it, and i would recomend them for players who play rock or related genres. The snare rings a little so i got some of that moongel stuff and the ring went away. The toms aren't wonderful, but they certainly dont sound like crap. (i probably dont have them tuned right, so thats why) The bass head is the best part, and it comes with dampening rings so you can adjust how low you want it to sound. I would reccomend that you tune the head just past the wrincle point to get the most punchy sound. I like it that way, but if you dont just tune them higher. I use these mostly for recording, but i have used them on-stage a few times. great buy, especially for the money.

Evans REMAD Resonant Bass Drum Head, 20 Inch Review

Evans REMAD Resonant Bass Drum Head, 20 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yes It's an Evans and a quality product that delivers the sound you want. In that respect, you could not ask for a better low resonance damp head. After may types of heads I like this best. Live and recorded it is a perfect 10 ... but depending on how much you play, it may only last less than a year before it rips in half on it's own! But this is a front head!! Nothing touches it. A simple google search will confirm it is a known pattern failure on drum forums. In fact the instructions from Evans enclosed with the head say it will break if the foam ring is not used. However, good luck with that, the foam rings don't always stay in place, and eventually it falls apart and you have to replace it. I've even tried using a flexible light amount of contact cement to aid holding the dampner in place - it still breakes. I even have a video of me playing a gig with the ring flopping around. Ok so the ring are flaky, after that then the entire head breaks!!! I contacted Evans through support....No response. To make matters worse, Replacing this head cost a small fortune as I had custom graphic on the front head. So now I'm my last Evans Emad front head. I have since mounted my D112 mic inside the the drum, and waiting for the head to grenade and rip in half - just a matter of time. I will then switch to a solid head with no hole, however I will be an Aquarian head as most drummers have suggested (thank you very much!). I Love the way the Emad looks and sounds, but hate the fact that they are selling a defective product and do not back it up, refine it or help you through their support dept. Bottom line is, what good is a killer sound, if it is unreliable. I only want to worry about what I'm playing at a show, not about weather the head will make it through a show or a ring is going to fall off, that is unacceptable & unpro.

Since I am an old lady, I can't properly review this drumhead. I bought it for my daughter's boyfriend who plays in a very heavy metal band. However, I am pleased to announce that he is very happy with it. He really likes the response to his double kick and the sound is definitely what he is looking for with his genre of music. We added a kickport to the bass and he's in heaven.

Remo 8" Hand Drum Mallet with Colorful Head Review

Remo 8 Hand Drum Mallet with Colorful Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
When you buy these buy a bunch. My kids love to drum and drum on everything. It was killing me the things they would think to use as drumsticks and what they thought they could hit with them. These drumsticks fixed that problem well. They heads bounce nicely and we have not seen a new dent in the furniture since. Of course they work great on their drums too and no one has been seriously injured from drumming on each other yet either. Honestly the best purchase I ever made. I wish they sold them in bulk packs, lol. They are used every single day without exception and it is hard to even get the kids in the car somedays with out toting along the drum sticks too.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After trying all the different drum heads on the market
I find nothing compares to Evans heads. As a professional
drummer I will use nothing else. I prefer the G2 coated heads as they
offer maximum resonance w/ minimum damping. They will make your drums sing and last a long time. I am a believer and I am not the only one.
Every pro drummer I know uses Evans and swears by them.
They are simply the best.

Evans EMAD System Pack, 22 Inch Review

Evans EMAD System Pack, 22 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I definitely like the idea they were a matched set. I was using old, beaten heads on my bass and needed something that would work better and look good, too. After I put these on, I could not believe I was playing the same bass drum. Now I have a tone that sounds more "musical" than just "thudding." I'm sure you could tune it to produce a nice, deep thud, too, but I really like the range of sounds I can create with this head set. There is a rim on the batter side that holds one of 2 included foam rings against the head. One is thicker in width than the other, allowing you to choose how much ring you want. The front port hole is just big enough to place a rolled up towel inside, but you'd need a small pillow if that's what you want. The thing is, I don't even use anything inside now. That's how controlled you can make it. If you want more of a thud, then add additional dampening, but, like I said, I prefer a more "musical" sound. Along with my Pearl B100DB Duo-Beat Beater, my upgraded bass drum now has the ability to cover a wide variety of sytles. The black color on front looks very cool, as well.

Aquarian Drumheads SKII22 Super-Kick II Double Ply 22-inch Bass Drum Head Review

Aquarian Drumheads SKII22 Super-Kick II Double Ply 22-inch Bass Drum Head
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you are reading this, then you are at least a little but curious about what Aquarian's Super kick II has to offer.
In 6 years of drumming, I have yet to find another kick head that matches up to this one. Simply put, it is the best thing out there. This bass drum head is great for several different reasons:
1. Extremely durable- You can beat the snot right out of this thing and it will hold up very well. The material is very strong, and there are TWO layers of it for extra strength.
2. Sounds incredible!- Its true. This bass drum head will completely transform the sound of your kit. I have thrown one of these on some of the crappiest kick drums ever crafted, and even they sounded good with it. I get compliments all the time on my kick. Super punchy and consistent.
3. Doesn't need muffling. For a live application, this head needs little to no padded muffling. Even in a normal house or practice room setting, the built in dual muffle rings act as a perfect device for keeping this drum head under control. If you want to add a little punch, throw in a very small t-shirt and it takes the edge off a bit.
I have even heard die hard Evans fans rave about these kick heads, they are just the best out there!

Evans EQ3 Resonant Smooth White Bass Drum Head, 22 Inch Review

Evans EQ3 Resonant Smooth White Bass Drum Head, 22 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you're looking for a smooth white resonant bass drum head, this drumhead by Evans I believe is one of the best. It has a 5" port already cut out for mic placement and also a muffling ring around the head on the backside of the drumhead. I like the opaque smooth white head compared to a coated bass drum head because a coated head could get dirty quicker, the smooth white surface is much easier to keep clean. This drumhead has made all my bass drums sound better and it looks great. A white resonant bass drumhead, to me, gives a drumset a brighter more noticeable appearance, no matter what the color is of the drum set. If the drumkit is vintage and the front head needs to be replaced, this drumhead will capture the retro look of the drums and probably improve the sound of the old drums too unless ofcourse you want a reso head with the brand name already on the head but you can always buy a sticker of the drum company to put on this drumhead. I've bought two of these heads, a 22" and a 24" and I'm very pleased with both of them.

Evans EMAD Onyx Bass Drum Head, 20 Inch Review

Evans EMAD Onyx Bass Drum Head, 20 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After a few years of using the Aquarian "super kick 2" I decided to make a change to a single ply head, I chose this onyx by evans, First of all this head has amazing Punch! Right in the chest that you can feel! It works best at low tunings and use the small ring insert, The durability is very good for a single ply head and I have just ordered my second one after almost a year of use on the first, Gigging every weekend and also practicing twice a week this head has held up very well, I do recomend the use of a kick pad which I use to get a bit more durability out of the head, I used and recomend the Aquarian double thin kick pad. I am not a light player, I play heel up and kick hard, this is a great sounding punchy head with great attack and a real sharp deep punch, highly recomended, Great Job Evans !

Evans REMAD Resonant Bass Drum Head, 22 Inch Review

Evans REMAD Resonant Bass Drum Head, 22 Inch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This head is great!! Exactly the low end thump I was looking for! Evans has always made quality heads and this one does not disappoint. I have mine coupled with the Onyx 2 batterhead (black) and they make a great looking set as well as a sonically matched set. As close to perfect as you can hope for.
Buyer, beware the description, as you DO NOT get the interchangeable rings. Evans has since made a newer version with a fixed ring and lower port hole placement!! Know what you are buying!! Amazon and Evans needs to update the description!!
Definately recommend this head if you are looking for that low end missing from other heads. 5 stars for quality and functionality!!!!!

I play somewhat hard but not as hard as other drummer's I know or have seen play. Every couple of months I am forced to order a new spring because they just give out on me. Big inconvenience if you ask me. DW pedals are like European cars: when they're working they're amazing, but maintenance is frequent and expensive.
