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.

Great sounding head that is durable and bears the Remo name. Remo Emperor Coated Drum heads have been around for a while and have built a legacy. They are good for different styles of drumming including: Jazz, fusion, rock and various other types of playing. The coated head is durable and is good for brush work where needed. Remo Emperor drum heads are a great buy and will hold up.

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.

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.

Evans G2 Fusion Drum Head Pack

As notably one of the best drum heads around, the G2 fusion head sports a two-ply drum skin (7mil each) featuring extraordinary consistency and durability. Evans G2 drum heads offer the perfect blend of depth, sustain, and attack. It makes small toms sing and floor toms growl. G2 drum heads have been a consistent leader in the Rock drumming arena. Little less resonance than the G1 series drum head, but delivers a powerful sound.

* Finish: Clear

* Sustain: Focused
* Feel: Moderate
* Durability: High

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Evans G2 drum heads have become one of the most popular heads around. These 2 ply drum heads allow for stronger, harder playing suitable for rock. Sound is less open but gives a powerful punch. Highly recommended.

Remo Ambassador Drumhead ProPack

The kit includes one each: of a 12, 13, 14, and 16 inch heads. Remo Ambassadors are a single, medium-ply, extremely versatile head. Ambassadors are some of the most played heads ever.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
Great drum heads that have good resonation. The tones seem to go on forever on these single ply heads. The coating is nice for brushwork. These are not for super hard playing like a two-ply head would hold up to. If you play a little softer especially jazz or fusion, these drum heads are the way to go. I’ve used them for years and alternate with the clear types. Remo heads have always seated on the shell very nicely for me. In my opinion, you really can’t go wrong with Remo. You can get these drum heads in a Fusion Coated Pakas well.
