Remo Controlled Sound Coated Drum Head with Reverse Black Dot - 14 Inch

Awesome sound with a slight control of the overtones. Remo is the best.

I have a PDP Concept Maple 10 inch popcorn Snare - Black Wax that I use in my drum Kit /Setup. The original snare head has the coating rubbing off (a Remo Head from PDP was OEM). After researching on line for a replacement, I stumbled upon this Remo Control Sound snare batter head. Ordered it based on the Amazon reviews and feedback. Very glad I did. This head Sound great for this drum. It give off that nice "Crackle" for a popcorn Snare (10 X 6.5). Better than the stock head which did not have the control Sound feature of the Dot in the Middle. And this head is made in the USA, the OEM Remo head was made in China. Highly recommended IMO.

I've used the coated control sound snare on my vintage drums for several years now. I play on a 1959 wood Ludwig, and a 1962 wood Slingerland snare with this head. The reverse mylar patch provided the focus and overtone dampening I want when playing with sticks, but the construction of the head along with the Remo coating, allows for the lively resonance i need at lower volumes and with bushes. I've tried a bunch of different heads from Remo and Evans, but always come back to this head for my vintage wood drums. I have one 1970 era, chrome over steel Premier snare that i use an Evans HD Dry on, but that head chokes out my wood drums. I highly recommend this drum head.

I’m not a drummer by any means but as a musician I know A LOT of drumsets have this head, I’ve seen how long they last and how great they sound and when it was time to put a new head on my snare-drum, I ordered this of amazon, i think theres a few different versions of this head, cause I’ve seen different ones in different sets, but all of them sound great. Mine was easy to put on and tune, and after a year I still havent had any problems with it, the coating is still there, the tone is stoll great, its still in tune and if i ever decide to change it Ill get it again.

Aún sigo usándolo , muy bueno

I took this thing out the box and slapped it in my 14” snare and instantly started tuning I got great low fat snare responses which would be tremendous in any funk/ rock situation, I got a nice medium sound which was amazing I almost stopped there but I’m more of a gospel/ funk/ jazz and really Versatile player so the medium-high to high range took the cake. It has a nice pop when you strike it and the over tones aren’t too much they’re just right but if you don’t want overtones at all moon gel will take care of it. 5 out of 5 I surely recommend.

This drum head gives me the sound I want from a snare drum. You can tune this for more or less ring. It's important to note that this is not an overly muffled head. It provides a small amount of muffling. I like this because, the way I see it, you can add muffling with other products if that is what you want, but you cannot really take a dry/muffled head and go the other way. A bonus about these heads is that you can play over the center and have a more "controlled sound" as its name implies. Or, you can play outside of the dot and get more ring if that is the sound you want. This head can be used for just about anything.What I like the most about these heads is the durability. I have played on a very cheap stock head before and broke right through it. I broke a different remo head as well. I have yet to break one of these heads since using them. In fact, I broke a tension rod before even breaking the drum head. I could not ask for a better snare drum head.

This is a high quality durable head, but sonically it’s just not for me. While the dot definitely adds durability, I just don’t like the sound it produces. It chokes the sound and seems to accentuate overtones if the head is struck outside the dot. For me if I’m prioritizing durability, I would much prefer either a coated vintage Emperor or a coated regular Emperor for a much more pure versatile sound.
