Remo Silentstroke Drumhead, 10"

I've been playing drums for over 50 years and I never thought that someone could develop a drumhead that was actually somehow quiet...but they did it!!! Yep! This drumhead is super quiet but still has the good rebound of a traditional plastic drumhead. Amazing!!! It sure makes it nice to be able to play my drums in my loft and not worry about possibly getting cited by the HOA for a noise violation. I HIGHLY recommend this drumhead for all you drummers out there who want to quiet down your drums and still have the feel of traditional drumheads!!!

Remo Silentstroke heads are intended for silencing an acoustic set for practice with minimal sound, but they also work great on an electronic set that uses mesh heads, such as my Alesis Nitro. Plus, I can add the Remo logo to the Alesis set. Very cool indeed.

This head is awesome! Not only is it incredibly quiet, it is also very durable. A lot of people ask, "Will it hold up under my sticks?" The answer is yes. I have had this head on my snare for over a month now, and so far, it has not shown even the slightest signs of the normal wear and tear you would get with a regular head. One thing I have trouble with, is hitting the drum about three times harder than I normally hit it, because it is so quiet. my ears tell me to hit the drum harder to get a louder sound. However, this head has held up amazingly well, through all my hard hits, this past month. The heads are very responsive, and have excellent rebound. One nice thing about these heads is that they decrease the overtones you would get with a normal head. You do not need any overtone killers on these babies. One thing you should know about these heads is that chewed up sticks will tear the heads, so I recommend using nylon-tipped sticks. These heads were meant for practice, but I have found that they also function well in a studio environment. These drum heads are an excellent product.

Good buy

My gripes with this product are less an issue with the product itself as much as my personal opinion. I tore a hole in my top tom and had been looking around to try a new head (I intended to replace all my drumheads when I found one I wanted) and figured this would be a good starting point, since I play inside a house and have close by neighbors. First, I want to give credit to the design of these heads, which is not readily apparent in pictures. When you look at it up close, the head itself has a mesh that is very similar to patio screen, which would not lend confidence to any sense of durability, but these heads can seriously take a beating, and that's impressive. I also have to admit that the mesh design really does dull the sound, but that's where my personal problems come into play. It doesn't just reduce the sound by 30/40/50%...it's more like 95%. I can sit there and see myself hitting the head and hear almost no audible tone come out of it. The only thing I hear when I hit it is the stick hitting the mesh, there might as well not be a drum behind it at all. Tightening it helped a little, but only a very small amount and it got to a point where the rebound was unrealistically strong, so I ended up just not using it after a while and moved on to another regular drumhead (Evans EC2 heads, love 'em). I really think this is probably a great product for parents of a 6-13 year old kid who wants to play drums, but doesn't want to drive the entire house insane. It provides an ability to play in cramped spaces, but at the cost of creating any notable tone. This was too much of a trade-off for me, but as stated, there are certainly uses where it would be worth it.

These are a game changer.

The Silentstroke series heads are one of the best deals out there, especially in comparison to brands like Hart and Pearl. Hart heads are really nice---and really expensive. The Pearl heads are cheap in price but not nearly as nice as the Remo heads. After getting frustrated with the tiny drum pads on the Roland kit that I use at church I began to consider converting my Ludwig kit to an e-kit. But, the cost of heads was pretty daunting, not to mention triggers. But, the Silentstroke series solved my problem as far as cost and I was able to head the entire kit for a very reasonable price. They are perfect for my needs---extremely low volume and the triggers work very well with them. They also play like a real head, too. For a practice kit or e-kit conversion you can't go wrong.

I bought the Remo Silent Stroke / Zildjian L80 package and it had the wrong size on one of the heads for my kit so this was to replace it. Amazing how much quieter it is. Takes some time to get the feel right with tuning but worth it.

今回、購入したドラムセットを全部 REMOのメッシュタイプに代えました。近所迷惑、考えないで練習できますよ。

Bien

I use the Silent Stroke head on a triggered snare drum for use in a Def Leppard Tribute band as well as for home studio use with an E kit along with live cymbals. I needed to eliminate snare bleed in the live overhead mic channels so I went to a mesh head. Its lively, no doubt, but it works great if you stretch a piece of felt under the head, which makes it a little less boingy. It had virtually no impact on my triggering performance. You can pay 80 bucks for something that may be marginally better or save a bunch and grab a Silent Stroke like I did. Im happy.

good

Superbe et efficace pour une pratique silencieuse. La qualité Remo est au rendez-vous
