Smooth stick response
The frosted surface provides just enough grip for brush work while maintaining a smooth feel for standard sticks. Highly recommended.

Great durability
I've been playing heavy handed for three weeks and there are no signs of wear. The double-ply construction really holds up well.

Good value
Solid head for the price point. It took a day to settle in, but once tuned, it sings. Would buy again.

Studio favorite
Used this in a recording session yesterday. The overtones are controlled naturally, requiring minimal damping. Sounds expensive.

Perfect for Jazz Gigging
The oiled finish gives this head a incredibly warm tone that cuts through the mix without being harsh. Ideal for my small combo jazz gigs.

Exactly what I needed
Replaced my old single-ply with this and the difference is night and day. Much fuller sound with better projection.
Q: What is the thickness of the plies?
A: Specific micron thickness is proprietary, but it features two standard medium-weight plies bonded with an oil layer for resonance control.
Q: Can I use wire brushes on this frosted surface?
A: Yes, the oiled frosted finish is specifically designed to be gentle on wire brushes while providing excellent sweep articulation.
Q: Does this head come with a hoop or just the film?
A: This package includes only the drum head film. You will need to use your existing hoop and tension rods.
Q: How long does shipping usually take?
A: Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental US, depending on your location.
Q: Is this suitable for rock music or strictly jazz?
A: While marketed for jazz due to its warm tone, the double-ply construction makes it durable enough for rock and pop genres as well.
