Description

Replacing your drum heads is a great way to restore the sound of drums that have lost their punch and give new power to your kit. Improving your drums’ sound can make a huge difference to your play. Whether your kit is fresh out of the box or practically antique a new set of heads that are designed for your style can really increase the quality of your tone.

Here’s what Evans have to say about this head

Clear Controlled Sound® drumheads have medium and heavy-duty drumhead characteristics. The outer area of the head’s playing surface offers mid-range tone and sensitivity while the laminated center “dot” adds durability and tonal focus.

Basic Guide to heads

There are 2 kinds of head on each drum. The side that you hit is the batter head while the bottom skin is a resonant head.They come in single- or two-ply (1 or 2 layers of material) construction in a variety of materials and finishes.

You get an increased resonance and sustain with one-ply heads, while heavy hitting music can sound better on the heavier double-ply heads.

Skin Thickness

The drum head’s thickness is another thing to consider. Thinner, single layer heads have a sensitive response, with bright, resonant sound and complex overtones.

Thicker single-ply heads are more durable and have a higher tuning range with less sustain and more attack than thinner heads.

Two-ply heads have less attack and a quicker decay for a focused tone. They can take a serious pounding so if you’re slamming away with a double pedal this might be your best choice.

Dotted heads

Some batter heads have a dot affixed to the top or bottom of the head to muffle excess ring. This gives you a more focused, drier sound. Some players still put a line of duct tape on to achieve this same effect but the results are unpredictable and it really spoils the look of the kit.

Note: If you use brushes you’re going to want to stick with heads using dots on the head’s underside to avoid snagging a bristle.

Coated heads

Drum heads with a white or black coating give a subtle muffling effect. Some have internal sound rings embedded around their outer perimeter to control excess ring.

Many jazz drummers put clear heads on the toms and a classic white-coated head on the snare drum, as the texture of a coated snare head sounds better with brushes. The bottom head on the snare drum is known as the snare-side head, a transparent, extra-thin head that maximizes response to the snare wires.

Bass Drum heads

Bass drum heads can include an internal dampening system on the batter head to provide a controlled sound and a port hole for improved tone and to make it easy to fit a mic. Port hole protector rings are also available to prevent your drum head from ripping or denting when fitting a mic.

Brand

Remo

Remo is one of the most important and widely used drum head manufacturers in the world, and for many drummers the name is almost synonymous with drum skins themselves. Founded in the late 1950s, Remo pioneered the use of synthetic materials for drum heads, replacing traditional calfskin with Mylar, which offered far greater consistency, tuning stability, and durability.

Remo drum heads are used across every style of drumming, from rock, pop, jazz, metal, and punk through to orchestral, marching, and educational settings. Their range covers everything from bright, open single-ply heads to controlled, dampened designs, making them suitable for beginners, working drummers, and touring professionals alike. Remo heads are known for predictable tuning, reliable tone, and the ability to shape sound without fighting the drum.

Beyond standard drum kits, Remo is also deeply involved in percussion, frame drums, world instruments, and therapeutic and educational drumming. This makes Remo not just a drum head brand, but a foundational part of modern drumming culture, trusted by players, teachers, and manufacturers worldwide.

Drums

Drums is the main JustDrums category for core acoustic and electronic instruments, including kits, shell packs, snare drums, bass drums, toms and electronic drum kits. Compare the complete configuration, sizes, shell or pad construction, heads, hardware, module, triggers and connections according to the product type. A shell pack may need cymbals, stands, pedals and a throne, while an electronic kit may need a monitor or headphones. Use the specific child category and product specification to confirm what is included before comparing prices or sound.

Snare Drums

Snare drums provide the sharp backbeat and articulate ghost-note response at the centre of many drum kits. Compare diameter and depth, shell material, hoops, heads, snare wires, strainer, throw-off, butt plate and tuning range. Metal, wood and hybrid shells can produce different combinations of attack, body, sensitivity and projection, while depth affects the balance between response and weight. Check whether the listing includes a case, stand or replacement parts. The best choice depends on the drummer’s tuning, touch, music and the rest of the kit.
