Keeping up with drum heads has become quite a challenge. Even for someone who often deals with them. Here is a chart I've created putting all of REMO's (drum set use) heads in somewhat of an organized form.
There are three boxes:
- The top box is the basic heads broken down into two categories: single & double ply. These heads have no dampening. The Vintage Emperor is the newest.
- The bottom box is the same idea but these heads have some sort of dampening ring/ reinforcing dot.
- The middle box combines the two boxes and adds textures to them. Check out REMO's website for those details.
I also tried to organize tone and durability. IN GENERAL, you can follow the arrows in the top. I also tried to list the heads in darkness of tone as it goes down each subset, but I haven't tried all of the heads so it's not definite. All of the heads do not come in all sizes.
I will probably make a second page with more details of each head. I will also continue to create and post more of these charts as I make them. Let me know if you have any questions/recommendations to this chart or other ideas.
