Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear Bass Drum Head with Impact Patch

Comments about Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear Bass Drum Head with Impact Patch:

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.

I had a Remo Pinstripe before this and it was decent. It felt decent to play with my DW 5000 Accelerator pedals but when I bought my 2nd bass drum I decided to try something else so I gave the Powerstroke 3's a shot and wow!! I wish I went w/this head right away and never even bother with the Pinstripe before this. My bass drums now sound so much deeper. I have 22" bass drums and they sound bigger adn deeper with these heads. Great Sound!!

I was playing the EQ4 from Evans and my IRon Cobras didn't seem to like it...no...but my Iron Cobra's bounce beautifully off these heads....and it sounds so deadly......I've finaly found the best bass head available

Woah baby, this thing sounds great! Alot of kick, you can get a nice hollow sound out of your bass with this head. I like it more than my super kick 2. It is louder, more durable, and has more kick. This makes any bass sound good.

This head made my horrible stock front head even sound good. But you need the right dampening. The dot also makes it sound better and gives the head more life.

I resently got this head whith high expectations, and they were deffinitely me. This head is very clean and has a lot of boom, with the right muffling it sound awesome.

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.

Great response, awesome sound!!! Good for all types of music. I have three more words to say about it: BUY THIS HEAD!!!!!

This is a beautiful batter head. First off, I use an ebony Powerstroke with a 5" hole as a resonant head. Coupled with a Tama Iron Cobra wooden beater and a Remo Falam Slam Pad (included with mine), this will create a great clicky sound. With out all this stuff on, you'll get a great boomy sound. This is a helluva versatile head. Also, my beaters just bounce off these heads, making footwork so much less strenuous.

I was hesitant to try this head, because I was satisfied with my Evans Emad. However, all of the reviews spoke so highly of the Powerstroke that I decided to give it a try. After all, the Powerstroke is cheaper. I can honestly say that this is the best batter head that has been on my kick drum. The tone is a great combination of fullness without losing that punch that I prefer. I love it.

I've had this head go through hell & back, I've kicked the hell out of it, I've used it for my main performance & my practice sessions, it's been moved, has had other drums placed on it, has been tightened to the max. I had it for 3 years, & it just ripped on me. Very pleased

Comments about Remo Powerstroke 3 Clear Bass Drum Head with Impact Patch:

I had an old 20" kick drum sitting around and thought I'd try it out on a small gig. The head on it was OK, but I knew there was room for improvement. The Powerstroke sounded like it would fit the bill, so I ordered it. After cleaning the drum and seating/tuning the new drumhead, I was instantly impressed with the acoustic sound. It sounded even better once I put the kick mike on it. I am anxious to take it out on an actual gig now.

This is my favorite bass drum head I have used. It sounds crisp but has a real nice thump to it. If your looking for a clean crisp but heavy bass drum sound this is the head to buy!!

I bought a 22" for 29.99. Even though it doesn't have the dampening rings like the superkicks and EMAD's, I think it is still a better deal. I have played a Super Kick II before and it was ok, but this is better. Has a nice low end punch and doesn't need much muffling. Hope this helps!

The new Remo sardo head is exactly what I was looking for and it arrived very quickly. Thank you Guitar Center.

I bought this head today to replace my Evans EMAD 2 head, and first off, it was warped, but not much, so i figured that i'd just use it anyway. I put some two Evans dampening pillows inside, put the head on, tuned it, put on a Remo Falam patch, and hooked up my DW 7000 double pedal. this head sounds amazing, and great for rock and metal type playing but is also great for other styles. I would recommend this head for, well whoever wants a good sounding bass drum. the only reason i rated this head 4 stars is because it was warped.
