Remo 24" Starfire Bass Drum Chrome

24" Starfire Head

Having a chrome drum kit, it only made sense to go for the flashiest, chromiest head on the market! Having had problems with Remo products arriving warped in the past, I was really pleased to see this turning up with no such issues. The chrome finish is flawless and super reflective, which looks great under stage lights.

Being single ply means a full, resonant sound- I have mine ported, with a felt strip underneath to help control it slightly and add a bit more attack.

There are undoubtedly better sounding resonant heads on the market- I would probably recommend changing out for a studio session- but for a gigging kit these do the job, and make a great visual impact.

Nice gimmick

Bought this for use as a bass drum reso, could have settled for standard black or hipster white (and had infinitely more selections to choose from) but the inner glam rocker in me thought this would be too cool to pass up.

Sound is ok, but the visual effect when the bass is smacked from the driver's seat is an interesting diversion for the audience when they tire of looking at the guitarists wailing away all night...
