Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I had been in the studio laying tracks and the engineer wasn't happy with the ringing that my snare was producing so out came the gaffers tape and a piece of rubber to dampen it. While this made the snare sound great on the recording, it felt horrible to play due to the lack of feel. This incident sent me on a quest to find a solution so I could get a great tone without muffling. I found this head and purchased it blindly not knowing what to expect. I have to say that I love this head. I use it on my main gigging snare because it can be tuned high and the tone is very crisp with a nice tight pop, while lower tunings will bring out a nice full wet tone. The head is also very durable due to the two ply mylar with a layer of oil in the center. The coating on the head is durable as well and sounds surprisingly good with brushes. Some sensitivity is lost due to the thickness of the head, so I don't think it would be a good choice for jazz, but for those of us who get paid for laying down a solid groove night after night, this is a head worth checking out. I've tried this head on metal and wood snares and IMO I think they sound better on wood snares although they sound good on metal snares too. They also sound great live with microphones and give you a built in pre-EQed effect. For those who are heavy hitters or just want a pre-EQed effect, you can't go wrong with this head.
