The bass drum head that came with my kit about a year ago finally died RIP

Great! Now you get to hear how vastly better your bass drum sounds with *a real head* made by a real drum head company, like a Remo Powerstroke or Evans EMAD.

You don’t get what the photo shows

now I don’t want to dismiss the quality and the sound and feel of this drum head it’s amazing. I have an issue with the bait and switch from the seller. It’s clearly posted as 2 drum heads, I only received one. After reading into the reviews I see many people had this same expectation.

Blown away by Stage Custom

So I took a chance on these, and they are just incredible drums. I'm using clear Remo Emperors with ambassador reso heads on the toms and a Remo Powerstroke 3 black dot on the kick. Those drums just sing, they tune up very well, and they stay IN tune. Incredible drums.

If you prefer Remo, I like Pinstripes on my toms, and either a Powerstroke P3 or Controlled Sound Reverse Dot on my snare.

My bass drum has an Evans EQ3, and I have one felt strip behind it.

My Favorite for bass drum heads!

There seems to be an ticker layer around the border of the head which dampens the head enough so that I don't have to shove a bunch of blankets and pillows in the ...

What snare head should I get

Remo Controlled Sound Reverse Dot or Powerstroke P3 on the batter side.

The snare head is probably ok, but if you want to replace it I like Remo Ambassador Snare Side Hazy.

An Industry Standard For Good Reason

The Remo Power Stroke 3 bass drum batter is a widely used drum head in the drumming community, which is good testimony in itself. It tunes easy and provides a clean punch with ample low end. It is a durable single ply head with a bit of dampening built in, and provides excellent resonance. Depending...
