14" CS Coated Black Dot Snare : Remo CS black dot snare drum head

This is a drum head with a long established history. I bought my first one in the early seventies and have used them consistently ever since. It is basically a coated Remo Ambassador with a reinforcing dot glued to the underneath. As well as strengthening the head and extending it`s life, the dot has a profound effect on the sound, boosting the mid range tones and giving the snare drum a punchy "thwack" at low to mid tuning and a hard "pop" when tuned high. The dot also goes some way to negating "centre play out" - this is when a snare drum loses some of it`s impact when struck in the centre of the head. All round, this is a very versatile drum head. Every video I`ve ever seen of the Rolling Stones shows Charlie Watts using CS black dots and that`s good enough for me!
