Best TDrum 08" Trigger Mesh Head Alternatives

Based on 8 reviews

Having used a Roland electronic drum kit with a Snare mesh head I wasn't completely sold on the idea of getting mesh heads on my acoustic kit. I didn't like the one on my Roland electronics kit Snare. However I need entry have worried, these are excellent at a great price. The are secure on the drum and give a good feedback, much better than expected. Perhaps it's the two ply nature of them but they are nowhere near as bouncy as I was expecting. If you want to try mesh headache and aren't sure where to start these are an excellent choice imho.

I decided to change my snare drum head on my electronic drums and immediately felt the difference . My previous drum head was also two ply head , but this Roland product is made very well, and make my snare drum feels better then before. The sound reduction was good as well , the rebound is exelent. My el.drums are not Roland , but still it fit's just fine and have no problems with the triggers on the snare. I'm thinking of changing all the other drum heads with this product from Roland although the price is a bit hight ,but good quality comes with good price :)

If you are a drummer who wants to practice and don't want to produce any sound not to annoy your flatmates, family and neighbours, look no further. This mesh head is amazing, I've been practicing almost everyday for a couple of months with this head and its just amazing. The pedal's mechanics produce louder sound than when the beater hits the bass drum. I strongly suggest this for quite practice. Tip: Don't use the felt side of the beater as it will get worn out quickly, use a plastic or wood beater for that.

I moved into an apartment and wasn't quite sure whether to go with silent stroke mesh heads or an electronic kit. I've decided to go with the mesh heads and am really satisfied. The heads are maybe a bit bouncier than regular heads but overall the practice experience on these heads is very good. You do hear the sound of the drums a bit but that's mainly due to the resonant head. If you want even less sound, you could just remove the resonant heads altogether. Also, be careful because they do wear. Especially the bass drum head has slight indentations where the beater hits the head, but nothing out of the ordinary.

I have equipped my rather large drum kit (4 SD, 4 TT, 3 FT, 1BD) with Remo SilentStroke heads as I practice in my living room and I also enjoy a good relationship with my neighbours. I also have Zildjian Low Volume cymbals (20" ride, 18" Crash Ride, 18" China, 16" Crash, 14" HH and 10" Splash), they match with the Remo heads as if they were developed together. The SilentStrokes have a different sound than other heads, mainly because the reso heads are more audible. Tuning is different as well, for the same reason. The feel depends on tension, as with any head. It takes little or no time to get used to these heads, they do respond to different sticks, mallets and brushes. If you want to use brushes, go for nylon, as steel will penetrate the mesh, and will...

I have my whole kit fitted with these heads and I'be been really impressed with the quality of both the build and the tone. The reduction in volume is really marked; I play mainly in a small church room and using Silent Stroke enables me to play without using dampening pads which destroy the true tone of the drums. The mesh is really good quality and takes a good beating. Whilst I've only had these for a few weeks, I'd imagine they'll last a good while longer. The response from the head is really good too and really close to a normal head. I'd definitely recommend Silent Stroke to anyone for whom volume is an issue whether practicing or playing live. One warning on live use though is that you may need to mic even in small venues as the volume is reduced considerably. These are...

If you're not going for a particular sound, but can't practice because of neighbours/apartement/parents in the house? This is honestly the perfect solution. It feels a bit bouncy, but I just put an old blanket inside and it feels sturdy and kicks pretty well. The sound isn't too bad actually, but it's pretty low and that's what I needed for my apartement, because I live in the basement of my landlords and I didn't want to ruin their daily peace. Pros: - It's low volume, perfect for practice - Feels pretty good if you put a blanket or something to muffle it - It's light, looks good Cons: - Heard it's pretty hard to trigger mesh heads - It's a bit more bouncy than a regular head, but with muffling that's not really any issue. Overall I really like it. I've used mine for a couple...

If you are a drummer who wants to practice and don't want to produce any sound not to annoy your flatmates, family and neighbours, look no further. This mesh head is amazing, I've been practicing almost everyday for a couple of months with this head and its just amazing. I use this head with my snare drum. I also release the snare wires to get even quieter. I took one star as I expected the same feel (stick dynamics) as a normal head but that's not 100% the case. Don't expect an identical stick rebound or general stick behaviour as you would expect from a normal head

I have my whole kit fitted with Silent Stroke heads and use the for live playing in a small church room where volume is a real issue. This head has a lovely deep tone and good rebound. It's a far better solution than using damping pads which give you no sustain. The quality of Silent Stroke heads is excellent and, whilst I've only had them for a few weeks, they seem to be really sturdy and should last well, even with heavy use. It's really nice not having to hold back when playing an practicing. I'd recommend these to anyone for whom drum volume is an issue.

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 . Stiv Black
