Millenium QuiHead 16" Mesh Head 4-stars Reviews

NON MALE

Buon prodotto considerato il prezzo. Ma l'accoppiata con I PIATTI STILL SERIES della millenium non è vantaggiosa (pelli troppo silenziose in confronto ai piatti)

Decent for the price

I got Millenium Quiheads for my first shell set (1x 10", 2x 12", 1x 14", 1x 20") and later on two more sizes (1x 13", 1x16") for an additional floor tom and a new snare, to replace the regular heads with them for my home kit. Overall, they are a good purchase for their cost. Below is a detailed analysis:

Pros:

1) Cost-effective: a good inexpensive alternative to the costlier mesh heads from bigger brands

2) Serve the purpose: extremely quiet heads. I play in my shared apartment, and never once did I get a complaint from my flat mates of being too loud.

3) Good fit: the fit matches the different desired drum sizes. The heads also have some headroom to allow for tuning high or low as per the rebound requirements.

Cons:

1) Not very durable: these onesbreak/tear more easily than others. I have stopped using the bass drum mesh head since that one broke the most easily. Would not recommend if you are these ones if you are a heavy hitter.

2) Different rebound: the rebound is obviously not the same as what you would expect of a regular head, but that is the case with mesh heads generally.

3) Reduced sensitivity to triggers: I play with triggers in my home kit and get the audio output in my ears, and I feel that the triggers are a little less responsive with these mesh heads in comparison to others, thus forcing me to hit heavier, resulting in con#2 mentioned above.

Overall, it serves the purpose of making the kit silent, and is more pocket-friendly, provided you are not breaking them frequently.

Really inexpensive, but not fit for all purposes

The price is ridiculously cheap, but you do need to know that single-ply mesh heads are not going to feel like the real thing. You need the extra layer for that. However, I did get decent trigger action and feel on certain drums. They are certainly a better pick if you just need something for silent practice. The rims of the heads are usually a bit too wide and sit loosely on the drum rim, but everything works fine once you crank the head up. Heads are quit resilient for their density and can take a beating, but that's the beauty of mesh.

Great product

I bought this (and 4 others) to use with an acoustic kit that I bought to turn into a hybrid acoustic/electric kit. I use the head with electric triggers and an electric module bought specially.

I wanted a full size kit that I could practice on at home, but was as quiet as my old electric kit.

The head works really well with the triggers, and feels pretty much like a normal head.

The set-up does pretty much exactly what I wanted it do, really pleased with the set-up.
