DRUMHEAD SELECTION
The invention of the synthetic drumhead
nearly 50 years ago was one big change for
drummers. Up until that time, virtually all
drumheads had been made from animal
skins. The synthetic head not only allowed a
much higher quantity and quality of heads
to be made, it enabled the development of
heads with a more controlled yet wider
range of tonal and performance options.
In basic terms, most of today’s drumheads feature a plastic film that’s mounted in
a metal hoop. While the material and
mounting method may vary, all heads can be
classified by size, weight and type. These are
the factors you should use to decide which
heads are right for the way you play.
Size (represented in inches) generally
determines which size and type of drum the
head is designed to go on, for example:
6-18˝
10-15˝
18-24˝+
tom-toms snare drums bass drums
Drumheads are also available for concert,
marching and world percussion instruments.
Weight refers to the thickness of the
head. Heads can be thin, medium or heavy.
Thin and medium weight heads are brighter,
more sensitive and well-suited for light to
general playing applications such as jazz,
latin and pop. Thicker heads are deeper and
more durable and recommended for heavier
rock and world music playing. To increase
the thickness of the head, sometimes a heavier gauge material is used and sometimes two
plies of medium gauge film do the job.
Modern drumhead manufacturers also
offer a variety of head types— from clear,
smooth and coated to laminated, loaded,
etched and vented. Each style of film and
surface treatment modifies the head to create
a distinctive quality of sound.
Use the chart below to find the type of
heads that best fit your drumming situation.
And, don’t forget to change your top and
bottom heads on a regular basis. It’s the way
the pro’s keep their kits sounding their
best... and it’ll do the same for yours.
