Remo pinstripe heads are the classic, trusted drum head for rock style drumming. I’ve used these heads when playing in rock bands and they sound great. They give a great, punchy low end sound with short sustain and hold up very well to hard playing. A definite winner of a drum head in my book.

Ok, it’s not a kid’s drum set, but what a cool drum. The child can take the drum around with them and learn fundamental rhythms and have a blast doing it. It’s Remo brand, so it’s a quality piece.

Remo Emperor Coated Drum Head

The Emperor heads are the darkest sounding and most durable of classic Weather King heads. They are made with two free floating plys of 7 mil film, which give their consistent open tone. The Coated White style is the darkest sounding of the three types.

Remo Clear Pinstripe Drum Heads

Remo's popular Pinstripe heads are made from 2 plies of Remo clear film and bonded at the collar to dampen both high overtones and overall resonance. The result is a very focused, low-pitched sound with moderate attack and response characteristics that is ideal for creating a deeper, fatter, controlled drum sound in a variety of studio and live drumming situations.

I used to use this head exclusively when I played hard rock. This is a quality Remo head with legacy. It’s been around for a long time and there’s a reason for it. It gives a great closed tone that allows the player to really pound on it and get great powerful sound.

A great tuning series from Evans drum head company.

I hope you can glean some information from these videos. Careful drum tuning is the core of  a drummer’s arsenal to achieving a great sound that both listeners and the player will enjoy.  There are a lot of drum tuning videos out there and it’s up to each drummer to find his or her personal sound.

Don’t skimp on time when tuning your drums. Pay careful attention to each step in regards to seating the head and properly tightening the lugs. Anyone can achieve great sound with a little drum tuning practice.

I personally tune my drums and use these tuning techniques often to keep the sound in top shape. If my drums don’t sound good, I’m actually less excited to play. It’s a mental thing….I don’t know. There’s nothing like hearing a great ringing tone come out of a drum head when you’ve hit the “sweet spot” after a drum tuning session.

There are different drum tuning techniques for different styles of playing like rock, fusion, jazz, etc. Head choice will determine how you tune as well. There are lots of drum tuning techniques to choose from out there.

Good luck and enjoy the never-ending drum tuning journey.
