Attack Baron Top Dot Batter Head - 14-inch
Attack Baron Top Dot Batter Head - 14-inch Reviews
"The harder you hit it, the better it sounds." That's the motto for the Baron Top Dot batter head from Attack. This built-for-battle head is made from a coated 10-mil Dynaflex film with a non-coated Cardinal Red Top Dot that lets you bring a dynamic, aggressive attack to your performance without sacrificing tone. The Baron features a mechanically crimped hoop — no glue, thank you very much — that ensures this head stays in place without any tone-watering wiggle or wobble. The non-coated Red Top Dot adds a touch of increased articulation that blends nicely with the coated remainder. In addition, a feature drummers love here at Sweetwater is the Micro No Overtone ring that is affixed under the head, letting you really go to town without the fear of losing dynamic response or muddying the output.
Attack Baron
At the time I only bought this head thinking visually it would pop with my one set. Not only did it visually pop but it sounds really great too for a 2 ply. It feels amazingly durable, sounds and looks great. What else can you ask for?
Muy Bueno pero no duró como los Evans o Remo
El cuero lo compre en febrero de este año y duro hasta noviembre luego de terminar una presentación el mismo aún sonaba relativamente bien pero me di cuenta que habian un lado que estaba suelto y pensé dos cosas primero que bueno que siguió soñando bien segundo que ya esto se rompió tan rapid. Aunque toco corrido por lo general este snare lo uso una vez por semana por lapso de tres hora y aveces menos. Muy bueno pero en comparación se rompió muy rápido compré otro le voy a dar otra oportunidad y estaré bien pendiente a mantener una afinación adecuada a ver si dura más pues quizás creo demasiada tensión en ese lado y por eso partió.
Great snare drum head!
I love the Attack head! It has a cutting sound to get through the mix without over ring so it's easy to mix. Sweetwater is the greatest! Best price and service!
Does the trick
Got this to visually compliment my Remo Controlled Sound black dots, and it turns out to perfectly tame my Sonor maple snare.
No moongel or tape needed, this takes away all the annoying ring I was struggling with but leaves the sensitive feel.
Looks the business too.
Surpisingly awesome
On my HHG Bell Bronze 25lb snare this head sounds killer. I've been playing Aquarian Hi-energy on this snare for many years and it also sounds amazing - the Baron makes it a bit drier which is a bit frustrating when initially mixing the audio as it's always nice to have some ring in the mix but on the other hand this allows you to be more creative in extracting/bringing up the fundamental tone of the snare. I won't remove this one from my set anytime soon at all.
Red Baron: An Ace
Perfect head for my Pearl Sensitone Aluminum snare drum. I love the drum but a little too much over ring. Moongel helps but the head doesn't feel quite right. Same is true for heads with built-in muffling. The Red Baron does exactly what I need. Cuts down ringing with a very compact muffling ring that doesn't detract from feel or overall sound. The red top dot is great for back beat. The pleasant surprise is I can also play a soft press roll near the rim. Impressive versatility and high-quality construction.
Wow!
I pretty much do used Remo emperors as my snare better for decades. I tried this drum head after watching some videos. I can tell you I absolutely love the sound of my snare with this drum head. The overtone control ring does a wonderful job controlling the metal overtones from my snare. I don't have to use any gels or anything to control the overtime. I when I rim shot, it sounds like a gun shot! The feel of the head is phenomenal too. I think I'll be sticking with this drum head for a while.
