Explore Drumheads at Sweetwater
Are you looking for new heads to freshen up your kit or percussion instruments? You've come to the right place! Sweetwater maintains a massive inventory of high-quality drumheads designed to ensure your drums sound their best and stand up to nightly abuse. Read on to see which drumheads we recommend for which sounds and styles of music.
How Do Clear and Coated Heads Affect Tone?
You can choose from clear, coated, mesh, rawhide, and synthetic drumheads using the shop filters on this page. Coated drumheads produce a well-defined attack and are extremely durable but have a shorter sustain due to the coating's subtle muting effect. The coating also lends them a nicely pronounced punch. If you love brighter tones, our non-coated (clear) drumheads will be your favorites. We carry non-coated heads in a variety of materials and thicknesses that produce different timbre, volume, and levels of sustain.
Single-ply vs. Multi-ply Drumheads — What's the Difference?
Thickness has a major influence on your final sound. Single-ply heads offer increased brightness and sustain, making them a preferred option for all you acoustic, jazz, and soft rock players. For you heavy hitters playing heavier styles, 2-ply and Dot-style heads are long-lasting and durable, generating the focused, deep, and articulated sounds modern music styles demand. These are an excellent choice for a well-defined attack and a fat punch.
What about the thickness of the individual plies? Thinner drumheads produce a complex sound with a sensitive response. Besides their additional longevity, thicker heads will amaze you with their wide tuning ranges and greater amounts of attack.
When In Doubt — Play to Your Strengths
When it comes to choosing drumheads, keep in mind which genres you play and what kind of sound you want to hear. Any of our 1-ply heads will be perfect for those of you who prefer a lighter, brighter, more open sound. 2-ply heads and beyond are your best options for a more focused and controlled sound.
