BUYING the CHEAPEST Drum Heads on Amazon and they were only $37 for a full set of batter heads (12, 13, 14, 16, 22). These are basically a bootleg remo pinstripe. If youve been paying attention, these look very similar to the heads that come on the Donner drum sets and Eastar drum sets. Im 99% sure these ARE the heads that come on those drum kits. Theyre very thicc and punchy, but are surprisingly decent drum heads!

I don’t know much about drum heads but I think for the price those sounded amazing. I’d expect them to be super easily broken and sound like a drum kit for kids but those were really decent. I guess almost anything can sound good when someone who knows what they’re doing is tuning/playing them.

@christopherg9806 2 года назад

I was pretty sure you were going to say, "You get what you pay for and these are crap." That's pretty cool that they worked okay. Didn't sound amazing, but they didn't sound terrible. It would be fine for just practicing, jamming or putting on a kit to sell. (I would definitely recommend them for that house kit I played on a couple weeks ago that had absolutely worn out, out-of-tune heads.)

@limeflashlight4101 Год назад

I think that's like the ones for the snares in my old middle school band class and toms

@Edelweiss1102 2 года назад

Honestly they didn't sound nearly as bad as I anticipated, quite the opposite actually. They're not amazing but absolutely decent considering the prize. Maybe not something I'd use in the studio, but on practice kit somewhere or the local church drum set, absolutely.

@arthuroliveira4326 2 года назад

I'm no drummer, I'm a guitar player. So to me, without any knowledge of drum tones, it sounded good. In a live show you definitely wouldn't notice the difference of these to more expensive brands like Remo. (Again, if you're not a drummer). So yeah, it's definitely worth the money.

@madhatterentmt6146 Год назад

guitar player here you took the words out my mouth lmao

@manderson9289 2 года назад

@cheetah219 Год назад

That last point is actually critical. These heads are incredibly affordable, so if you are having a rough day you can just take it out on the drums. The drums are such a good stress outlet and affordable heads will make me feel less bad if I do ruin them

@PatrickDAllen1 2 года назад

If you only had one kit, and didn't want to ruin your expensive heads this would be an amazing option. Leave these heads on the kit for practice. They don't sound perfect, but well enough. And then just take them off and put your professional heads on for performances. That way, you can have nice heads, but they'll be rotated out with the practice heads and you won't need replacing nearly as often so you actually save a mint over time.

Very cool David. Here is the deal, Mylar is a brand name of DuPont and is the same material as the chemical name PET. So Mylar is PET film. PET film is the generic equivalent to Mylar. So are the heads the same as Remo Pinstripes? No. Crimped edges like the old Ludwigs (many people loved and miss those Ludwig heads vs the glued epoxy edges on Remos. How have Pinstripes changes by Remo? Used to be able to see the rainbow effect and "apparent" but nonexistent oil between them. (Newton's rings). Now, that rainbow effect thing is gone. Did they change the orientation of the plys to cause this? I am not sure, but they are different than say Pins from 10 years ago. But I have no new old stock pins to compare to new stock pins. Your drums sounded great with the PET heads and with processing, who would know?

Thank you for another amazing video! I will just add that I didn't hear the word terephthalate since the early 90' when we were no longer socialistic country and we were finally able to buy more products that were made in western countrys. That time I fisrt time read about what our - Czech ( made by brand called Amati ) drumheads were made out of.. And I never heard the word again, until now.. but also, I never forgot it.. 😁😁 I can't speak about the sound or quality, I was only a teen and it's a long ago. I only remember that there were coated for snares, clear ones as reso heads ( very thin ones ) and what is now Remo White Smooth were basically the only head in production for rack and floor toms.

@paulw.3967 Год назад

Mylar(TM) *IS* PET. Mylar is a brand name of a version of PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) that is "biaxially oriented." If these are also biaxially oriented (I wouldn't know) then they're generic Mylar. (They could even be Mylar(TM) brand Mylar, made identically in the same factory but sold under a deal where they don't get to use the brand name and charge a premium for it.) Mylar is a really old product and all the patents expired long ago, so the Chinese shouldn't have any particular difficulty producing perfectly fine off-brand Mylar very cheaply. I'm not saying that these are the same quality plastic, but there's no reason they couldn't be. Mylar is not that difficult or expensive to make, and there is no technical reason that quality drumheads need to be expensive.
