Remo 20" Powerstroke 4 Clear Bass Reviews
well balanced bass head
We needed to replace our bass head, that still had the tama head on. My drummer has always used this head, so we went for this. the website says it is for clear attack and controlled sustain. It sounds good, and we are going to stick with it for a long time, they are so good that you don't need to change it so often unless you are recording
Really great kick batter!
In my opinion there isn't a better kick batter available, apart from the coated version of the same head! But the clear version is a very close second place! Unless I need to get a brighter, more musical sound for jazz and other lighter applications (in which case I use a coated Emperor) then the clear powerstroke 4 pretty much gives me everything I need in a kick drum batter head. Low end presence with fast response and plenty of punch. It really is a great drumhead!
Does the trick
I was wanting to remove some of the top end from my bass drum sound, as the beaters I was using were making it sound too toppy. Going from a powerstroke 3 to a powerstroke 4 has seemed to do the trick. It does feel slightly too thick, but it now has a great slammed door sound to it. I am using a front head with just a 20mm offset hole so still get a full drum resonant sound. This is about a halfway between a powerstroke 3 and a powerstroke Pro head in sound- the Pro was too dead for my liking. Experiment if you feel you want more depth and less top in the mix.
