Remo Powersonic Bass Drumhead

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Power up your bass drum sound with Remo's Powersonic bass drumhead, which features snap-on dampening technology for customizable muffling, feel, and sustain.

Overview

The Powersonic bass drumheads gives the drummer controlled mid range and low end for the most powerful bass drum sound that's "IT", right out of the box.

The Powersonic bass drumheads are constructed of 2 ply 7 mil Mylar with two specifically placed internal subsonic dampening rings with ESDS technology External Snap-on Dampening System. The two mounted 3/4 in. internal dampening rings enhance low end without fixating trays or hard backed dampening materials to the drumhead.

The unique patent pending ESDS system employs snaps mounted directly to the drumhead to eliminate the possibility of vibration. This allows you to easily customize your muffling, feel and sustain for different playing situations by "snapping" the strategically placed weighted pillow to the drumhead. Also included is the Falam Slam for added attack and durability.

"Good Stuff, I would buy it again. I have a very low cheesy recording at www.myspace.com/hydeaway We recorded live in our 10x10 s"

Overall:

(see rating details)

I would Rank it a 10, but I have not tested the full durabillity out yet. I will let you know in a few months.

Sound

Love the sound. Nice low snappy response. I am using a 22inch along with a Evans r.e-mad Resonating head. On a Pearl Export series standard shell. I have had other bands comment from there practice rooms that it sounds like I have the bass drum mic'd up. I was looking to buy a Evens ec-2, but they were out of them. So I tried this head. Great stuff I am sold. Now durabillity will be the factor.

Features

The sound pad that cones with the head does not stay on thru a three hour set. I find my self snaping the pad back on about 6 or 7 times thru the show. Sounds great even with the pad off though.

Ease of Use

Same as all the other heads.

Quality

Had this head for about 3 months. Holding up so far. I usually get 6 months out of the high end heads.(heavy foot) We shall see.

Value

Not so bad. Like I said so far so good. If I get 3 more months out of it. I'll say its a good price.

Manufacturer Support

Can not say yet.

The Wow Factor

Not sure about that. It looks good, and I actually am the only one looking at it. Soooo I like it.
