Remo 14" CS Coated Black Dot Snare 5-stars Reviews

Great drumhead

Excellent drumhead, with 2 different textures/sounds.

Great

Sound almost like a regular ambassador but gets rid of those low overtones that make the snare sound like a trash can. I like to use this on medium to high tunings because I don't even need to muffle it, it only lets out the good sounding overtones.

Geweldige snare head

Goede kwaliteit, lastig om doorheen te slaan. Geweldig geluid.

not sure if they are made tougher or my aim with that dot is just better ??

love the coated black dot... there is nothing more to say... well it lasts a long time... and it is easy to tune... and all around a great head...

durable drum head

super durable and with a warm and controlled sound of harmonics

name says it all

Easy to tune, maintains sound, lasts for ages.

Great all around drumhead

I have this head on my 14"x6.5" Tama Superstar maple snare and it really brings its best tones out like no other head I've used. Can definitely recommend. Suitable for most styles.

Love it!

Very durable. Controlled sound. No problems with it.

Good to dampen ringy snares.

Durable and great sounding

This is a versatile drumhead. I used it for years and tried quite a number of different drumheads on snare, but it I always return to CS

Classic

Cant go wrong with remo, especially with very durable controled sound.

Excellent

Excellent as always, this drumhead will see me again

Perfect

Very nice drumhead for dryer tunings.

You wanted the best you got the best!

Remo, enough said. The D'Addario for drummers.

Classic snare drum head

Simple a classic, you cannot go wrong with this one. Still has a fair amount of overtones despite the reverse dot, so some mild muffling might be necessary (I have a piece of duct tape on it).

Durability and resonance at its finest

Hard to look past this head for snare. In my opinion, Remo offer durability that is hard to find with other head manufacturers. The dot also allows for controlled snare sound and also cracking rim shots.

great snare head

sounds great, and for almost a year of pounding, i can say it is a high quality heads.....

possibly the best batter snare head out there

its just a great batter head for the snare, probably the best out there. controlled, durable and solid

The head for every snare

I absolutely love the controlled sound head and use it on almost all of my snares, from a 14"x6.5" Supraphonic (aluminium) to a 13"x6" Mapex (walnut) to a 14"x5.5" Premier (birch) to a 14"x6.5" WorldMax (brass).

I find that for about 80% of snare drums it's in the sweet spot between lively and dead. Not as bright and ringy as an ambassador or G1 can be, but not too dead like a pinstripe or emperor can be either. The CS also gives you a really fat sound when you play in the centre of the head — perfect for rock and pop live and in the studio. Since it's still single ply at the edges you can get the press roll feeling and ghost notes that are missing from a 2-ply head, and the "reggae rimshot" sound is still there too.

The only downside of the Controlled Sound is that the centre dot feels a little less 'bouncy' than the single-ply edges, and this means the rebound isn't consistent all over the head. I find I get used to it quite quickly, but it's worth bearing in mind if you're playing very soft music or like a highly responsive feel, or you're used to a G1/Ambassador.

But don't let that discourage you — the Controlled Sound is so good that it's now the head I try first on a new drum. Most of the time, it's all I need.

One of the best sounding snare drumheads ever !

The Remo 14" Coated Black Dot Snare in my opinion is one of the best sounding snare drumheads ever !

I play metal and I have my drumkit all miked up in my headphones and I can tell, so far, it has the best sound from all the drumheads I ever tried.

Pro : very compressed kind of a beat, right in your face, exactly what you need for this kind of music.

Cons : not the most enduring drumhead.

Very good, it's good work.
