JustDrums are excited to introduce the Remo Powerstroke Pro 20″ Coated Bass Drum Head by Bass Drums Bass Drum. Ready to be delivered to any location in the UK.

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.

We’ve all at one point or another stuffed a duvet or a cushion in a bass drum and expected it to make a positive difference to the tone. In all likely hood it probably did help to reduce unwanted resonance but in truth it probably killed all the liveliness that makes drums sound exciting too. Then we all started taping or sticking things to the skins with more or less the same results: you win some you lose some. Well Remo are trusted as industry leading manufacturers of drum heads and they’ve decided to put an end to this hit and miss approach to drum dampening. The Remo Powerstroke Pro series are bass drum heads with astoundingly engineered sonic treatment built right onto the head itself. Four different types of acoustic foam are used in precision to provide the perfect balanced yet lively tone. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin went to the moon with less technology than that! For the very best bass drum heads money can buy, look no further and kiss goodbye to tonal compromise

Here’s what Remo have to say about this head

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.

Bass Drums

Bass drums provide the low-end foundation of a drum kit, delivering the power and pulse that drive rhythm and lock in with the bass line. They shape the feel and momentum of the music, from tight, punchy grooves to deep, resonant impact, making them a central part of any setup.

When choosing a bass drum, look at size, shell material, and depth, as these affect tone and response. Larger diameters offer deeper, fuller low end, while smaller sizes give quicker attack and control. Shell construction influences warmth and projection, and head choice and dampening will further shape the sound. The right bass drum should match your playing style and sit well within your overall kit sound.

Drum Heads

Drum heads are a fundamental part of any drum kit, playing a major role in how a drum sounds, feels, and responds. Fitted to the top and bottom of drums, heads affect tone, sustain, attack, volume, and tuning stability more than almost any other component. Changing drum heads can completely transform a kit without changing the drums themselves.

There are many types of drum heads, including single-ply, double-ply, coated, clear, hydraulic, and dampened designs. Single-ply heads tend to sound more open and responsive, while double-ply and dampened heads offer greater control and durability. Coated heads are often chosen for warmer tone and brush work, while clear heads usually provide brighter attack and more projection.

Drum heads are selected based on playing style, genre, and personal preference, whether that is open and resonant for jazz, tight and controlled for rock and pop, or punchy and focused for heavier styles. From practice rooms to studios and live stages, the right drum heads make tuning easier, improve consistency, and help drummers shape their sound with confidence.

Bass Drum

The bass drum is the low-frequency engine of a drum kit, providing the weight and pulse that anchor the rhythm and drive the music forward. Played with a foot pedal, it works closely with the bass line to define groove and timing, with tone shaped by drum size, head choice, tuning, and muffling. From deep, resonant thumps to tight, punchy attack, the bass drum is central to the feel and impact of almost every style of music.

Drum Head

A drum head is the playing surface that directly produces sound when struck, controlling how a drum responds, resonates, and projects. It shapes attack, sustain, tone, and tuning stability, allowing drummers to adjust feel and sound to suit different styles. The right drum head makes drums easier to tune, improves consistency, and helps define the character of the entire kit.
