Remo 14" Silent Stroke Mesh Head Reviews

Delivers on what it promises

No product will ever make your drums absolutely silent, but these are probably among the next best things you can buy, if you want to practice while keeping the noise levels down.

The choice to practice

I would have liked to have those kind of drumheads the very first years when I was learning to play drums and later when I had to practice my things home before the rehearsals.... what a tool !!!

If you want to practice without having people around screaming at you for you to get quiet... go for it!

good but...

its actually too quiet with the zildjan reduced volume cymbals. I had to put tape on mine. the toms sound rubbish imo with these skins, tho the snare was good.. bass drum almost inaudible

sent the kit back and got a RolandTD-27KV2, cos I live on the third floor in central European city.. pity cos I wanted an acoustic kit

A great product for practice uses

bought it for my practice kit (small 3 part kit mounted in open space). the sound is muffled to death, but the fill and rebound is next to perfect. very recommended.

Like trying to tap-dance with socks :)

Forget rim shots :)

It has silenced my 14x3.5 Pearl FreeFloater to the bare minimum. It's relatively tunable and does the work it's bought for.

Disappointing

Maybe I was expecting too much from it, but I really don't like the feel and the texture of it. I've tried to tune it in different ways, but it's just weird.

The sound is as advertised, low, you won't bother anybody. The response/rebound it's nothing like a real drum head, actually it gives you too much rebound (even with low tuning).

All in all I cannot recommend it. I'd rather keep practicing with pads.

Profit maximized

A fair supply for the price paid. Profit maximized. Supply will be done according to the agreed time

Tone and low volume

Great practice heads to reduce the volume while still maintaining good tone. Some increased rebound but can be somewhat alleviated by tuning down slightly. Perfect for home drumming.

Very nice and quiet sound perfect for home or small places gigs :)

Great

Was surprised how much tone can be gotten out of these, you can really make your toms quiet without sacrificing your musicality. I would highly recommend these heads.

Great product

Ideal for practice at home, great feel, good price.

awesome

feels great to play and im amazed how quiet these mesh heads are. fully recommend for anyone that needs quiet practice but wants to use their full drum setup, just add some low volume cymbals you can practice all day and night

Great for practice!

It definitely doesn't feel natural, but it's great for practice. I've heard that it feels natural if you put a square of tape in the middle, which I've not tested, but that would reduce the bounciness. However, regards of the bounce it gives, it's a good product. I recommend it if you can't practice because of how loud drums are, this definitely reduces the sound ALOT and makes practice alot easier without disturbing the neighbours/residents of the house.

Bouncy

I use this head for my DIY triggered snare and I like the remo mesh heads. But for me the head is a bit too bouncy and I think that's because it's only one layer of mesh. Next time I'll try the roland mesh, which i also made by remo, but it's made of two layers. Sound is good, but if you leave your resonance head on the drum, you still hear it pretty good, so you should take that off as well.

If you can't make noise get this!

Theres really not much to it, you can't make noise, and you want to practice drums, this is the best choice out there.

It rebounds more than normal heads but you can still get good practice and fun out of them.

Fantastic way to convert your drums to electronic.

I've got this snare drum which looks nice but was otherwise terrible quality and the strainer stopped working. So I decided when I "went electric" to keep the drum and convert it to electronic with mesh heads and a trigger. This certainly does the job very well, making almost no noise at all. In fact it's significantly quieter than my actual electronic drum/cymbal pads!

Really silent

I thought it would be silent, but this is really quiet. My neibhours must love it as they don't hear me practicing any more. It is also strong, I've been using it for two months and it has not broken.

The bounce from it is a little different than from a normal drum head, but for the purpose, which is quiet practicing it works great.

Great

For my son to use on his bedroom kit. He says it is very good, giving good feel and (obviously) less noise. Perfect to practice.

Remo Quality

Brilliant product. The Silent Stroke Heads Work. Hard practice is never sacrificed. Loss of tone but manageable sound.

This product is what drummers from all over the world were waiting for . It's basically the solution to all your volume problems . If you have E-Drums Throw them buy acoustic ones and put these heads on . The feeling is the closest you can get to a real drum head and they are as quiet as a pad but also can give a tone out of the drums if you tune them a little high .

You can check out some videos on youtube and you will see for yourself how quiet and good for practise these heads are .
