Drum Heads

Drum heads determine how drums respond to a strike, how long they hold the tone, and how much attack comes through in the final sound. When choosing, focus mainly on the drum type, the response you want, the head thickness, and whether you are replacing a whole kit or only one specific instrument. In this branch you will find basic and specialist heads for drums, percussion, orchestral and marching instruments, as well as banjo.

How to find your way around drum heads

If you want to quickly unify the sound of an entire kit, take a look at drumhead sets. Resonant drum heads are used to fine-tune the sustain and character of the drum, while specific instruments have their own solutions such as percussion heads, orchestral drum heads, marching drum heads, or banjo heads.

Protection and sound control

The head itself is not the only element that changes the result. Bass drum head protection protects the stressed impact area and can firm up the attack, while drum dampers help shorten sustain or remove unwanted overtones. Choose according to the instrument and your playing style, not by a universal recommendation.
