The Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear bass drum head with impact patch provides the focused bass tone, punchy attack and durability that live performers and studio drummers demand. Remo's innovative Falam impact patch brings extra power and an aggressive beater click to your kick drum. A thin underlay along the outer edge gently dampens overtones for a balanced, controlled tone that cuts through the mix. With Powerstroke 3, your bass drum has never sounded better or lasted longer.

Falam Impact Patch Boosts Attack

Remo's durable Falam impact patch is securely bonded to the center of the Powerstroke 3 drum head, right where your beater strikes. This patch strengthens the head and provides an articulate "click" with each kick drum stroke, helping your bass drum cut through loud mixes. Despite the patch's durability, the head remains highly responsive for accurate reproduction of your playing dynamics.

Thin Underlay Tames Overtones

A thin ring of material laminated under the outer edge of the Powerstroke 3 head gently dampens high-frequency overtones that can make bass drums sound boomy or uncontrolled. This underlay allows the fundamental tone and midrange frequencies to ring clearly while tightening up the overall sound of the drum. The result is a balanced, punchy bass drum tone that speaks with authority in any style of music.

One-Ply Clarity With Lasting Durability

The single-ply Mylar film used in Powerstroke 3 provides transparency and resonance while standing up to the hardest-hitting players. Although lighter than Remo's two-ply Emperor-weight heads, Powerstroke 3 is reinforced in strategic areas to prevent premature wearing and ensure maximum longevity from your investment. Powerstroke 3 also features Remo's proprietary Skyndeep pre-muffled technology, which provides built-in dampening without sacrificing the open, resonant sound that has made Remo famous.

Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear Bass Drumhead

When I bought an early 1980's Slingerland Drumkit, my only complaint was the flat bass drum sound. Replacing the original head with a 22" Remo Powerstroke 3 woke the sound right right up. The volume and clarity were both increased dramatically, and each hit was boomy with nice high end definition on each hit. Removing the front bass drum head completely, I set a couple of pillows inside of it, and it sounded great on my 8-track home recordings. The bass drum presence was nice and defined, and cut through the mix without being overbearing. This is a very aggressive drum head, and if you're looking to upgrade your skins, although this is only my opinion, this is much better than Remo's ever-popular Pinstripe series.

bad news :(

I bought this head in a pack of pinstripes, and it totally transformed my kick's sound. I loved it. It had that nice thud with a pillow in the drum, and it worked perfectly in my playing. I bought the head in July, and it broke the night that I wrote this review in January. I don't pound my bass drum, and I'm not a hard hitter, but my Gibraltar pedal went straight through it. Don't get me wrong, this is a very good head made by the best, and a drummer I know has had his for a while and he hits his EXTREMELY hard. Maybe mine was defective or something.

    Switched the original head on a Yamaha Birch 20 inch bass drum. I like the head for its durability and inner dampening ring.

  • Good head.

    I love how the impact patch came with the head. What a genius idea. I could have used this with my previous acoustic drum set!! I would buy again and the bass head works like a charm. I think the price was a little on the high side but other than that I was really happy, now when I play my drums I get a crisp, clear punch. I am very satisfied with the product.

  • Durable Thump!
