Remo 12" Silent Stroke Mesh Head

I moved into an apartment and wasn't quite sure whether to go with silent stroke mesh heads or an electronic kit.

I've decided to go with the mesh heads and am really satisfied. The heads are maybe a bit bouncier than regular heads but overall the practice experience on these heads is very good.

You do hear the sound of the drums a bit but that's mainly due to the resonant head. If you want even less sound, you could just remove the resonant heads altogether.

Also, be careful because they do wear. Especially the bass drum head has slight indentations where the beater hits the head, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I have my entire kit fitted with these heads as I play in a small church room where volume is an issue. These heads enable you to play out without having to worry about bursting eardrums!

The tone quality is really good and the rebound is great meaning that you get the feel and tone of a normal skin rather than the deadness you get with dampening pads.

The heads are built to take some punishment and, whilst I've only had them for a few weeks, I would imagine they'll survive quite a while. I'd definitely recommend these to anyone for whom volume is an issue.
