Drum Heads
Remo and Evans heads offer a comprehensive range to suit all playing styles and are the world’s most reliable sounding drum skins. By purchasing these heads in bulk from only two manufacturers, Newcastle Drum Centre can offer you drum skins at greatly discounted prices.
Remo’s drum head range is Ambassador – open sounds, Emperor – warm tones, Pinstripe – fat sounds, Controlled Sound – heavy duty, Fibreskyn – bright tones, Powerstroke – Focused and Diplomat – resonant. We also supply many specialist heads, including Andante and Premier skins for marching and pipe band drums.
Evans’ drum head range is Genera 1 – articulate, Genera 2 – attack, EC1 – traditional, EC2 – focus, Hydraulic – short sustain and EMAD – punchy and durable.
In general, drumhead performance can be put in to 3 main categories:
- Sound - tone colour, pitch, sustain
- Feel - response, sensitivity
- Presence - durability, tuning range
Each type, style and variety of head has its own sound, feel and presence. The coating of the head generally affects your drum sound in the following ways:
- Transparent - brightest
- Smooth White - bright with shortened sustain
- Coated - darker, shorter sustain
- Damper Rings - controlled sounds
Call Newcastle Drum Centre for any advice. Our team will be happy to help you choose the best head for the sound you want for your drums and your playing style.
