It’s good, but shows hit marks easily

As soon as I hit it once with my drumsticks, it would show where. I’m personally I’m kinda specific about that but quality is good.

This is a high quality durable head, but sonically it’s just not for me. While the dot definitely adds durability, I just don’t like the sound it produces. It chokes the sound and seems to accentuate overtones if the head is struck outside the dot. For me if I’m prioritizing durability, I would much...

Great head, poor shipping.

One of the best heads I have used in my professional career. Be careful when you order this. I received it via mail in the thin little Remo box. The box was destroyed and the head was pinched in several spots. Which of course will cause problems.

Don't love it as much as my powerstroke 4, but that's because I have it on a 14x8 nickel plated brass snare. On my buddy's 14x8 maple snare it sounds fantastic though!

Great controlled sound. Not the best sounding snare head, great for beginners and small spaces. Sound is already muffled so it doesn’t go over bass or tom sounds

Deep Dark Sound With Snap

Excellent snare head if you like the deep sound. I enjoy this snare head but I prefer the emperor x instead. Both are awesome.

A Very Versatile Snare Drum Head

It provides a small amount of muffling. I like this because, the way I see it, you can add muffling with other products if that is what...

I think I have a new favorite beater head

I've always stuck to the Ambassadors due to the overwhelming positive feedback I get on them. Every drummer says Ambassador coated, the same way they all say SM57 mic for snare. When I busted through the beater head on my pulse piccolo I decided to try something different. I'm glad I did, this snare...
