Orange Drum Heads

Drum heads are the surfaces of a drum that you strike to produce sound. They come in various materials and thicknesses, affecting the tone and durability. Consider your playing style and music genre when choosing drum heads for the best sound quality.

Drum heads should match the diameter of your drum shell. Measure across the center of the drum from edge to edge to find the correct size. Accurate sizing ensures proper fit and sound.

Double-ply drum heads feature two layers, offering more durability and a deeper sound. They reduce overtones, providing a more controlled resonance ideal for rock or heavy genres.

You can mix different drum heads on a single kit to achieve varied tones. Experiment with combinations to suit your musical style, balancing between warmth and attack.

Coated drum heads offer a warmer tone with more focus, ideal for jazz or studio recording. Clear drum heads produce brighter sounds with more sustain, suitable for live performances.
