Remo Pinstripe Coated Drum Head 16 in.


Description
The Remo 15" Coated Pinstripe drumhead delivers a sound sought after by drummers of all styles. Constructed from dual 7mm Mylar plies with an internal tone-dampening ring, this drumhead tames overtones and resonance for a fat, pronounced sound with moderate attack and response. The coated playing surface also provides subtle warmth and allows for expressive brushwork. Whether recording in the studio or performing on stage, the Remo Pinstripe drumhead helps drummers of rock, pop, R&B and more achieve the robust, controlled drum sound they desire.
Specialized Dampening Ring Reduces Overtone Ring
At the heart of the Remo Pinstripe drumhead full yet focused tone is an internal dampening ring that inhibits excessive overtone ring and resonance. Sandwiched between two plies of durable 7mm Mylar film, this muffling agent allows lower frequencies to resonate freely while suppressing problematic higher overtones. The result is a drumhead with rich, fat tone and a quick decay suited for a wide range of musical applications.
Versatile Coated Playing Surface
The Remo Pinstripe drumhead features a coated playing surface, which provides subtle warmth and texture. This versatile surface produces articulate stick definition for crisp backbeats and ghost notes, yet its semi-smooth texture also allows for expressive brushwork. Drummers can coax a range of tones from bold and punchy to soft and sweeping.
Roadworthy Construction
Remo has been crafting world-class drumheads for over 60 years and builds the Pinstripe Coated to meet the demands of touring musicians. Two plies of 7mm Mylar film provide durability and prevent warping or denting. An advanced laminating process bonds the internal dampening ring between plies for a drumhead that maintains tone and performance over time. Rugged and roadworthy, the Remo Pinstripe Coated 15" drumhead handles the stresses of live shows and transportation with ease.
The Perfect Fit
The Remo Pinstripe drumhead comes in a variety of standard sizes to suit most drum kits. At 15 inches in diameter, this model fits common rack toms and produces a punchy, full tone that cuts through the mix. For drummers seeking fat, warm tone in a mid-range size, the Remo Pinstripe Coated 15" drumhead is an ideal choice.

Great tone and control
I have used pinstripes for a long time but haven't used coated heads on my toms for years. I was looking for something with less overtones. My DW collector's maple is a monster and clear heads (pinstripes top; ambassador bottoms) would sustain forever and it was a bit of a problem in the studio. I used muffle rings for control but they are a pain to keep track of so I went with coated pin's on the toms and moongels. In love with the tone. Might try one on my snare (always played coated ambassador on snare). I've heard people say they are more durable but I've never had an issue breaking heads. There's no need to play that hard in my opinion but to each their own. Remo is boss, and these are a great way to keep your toms from going dead while controlling overtones. Recommend.

Terrible!
These are the worst drumheads I've ever had on my three ply Ludwig's. They actually made my rack toms sound like cardboard. No tone whatsoever. I purchased a complete set in standard sizes 12, 13 and 16 inch. The only Remo heads that I ever had success with were the black suede emperors with black ambassadors as my resonant heads. Most of the Remo heads I find very hard to install on my 3 ply Ludwig's as I find them very hard to set level while installing. With this said I decided to stick with the Evans level 360 series in coated G1 or G2',

There is nothing that I don't like about this drumhead! Replacing the old one with the Pinstripe was a snap. The sound is just what I was looking for.
