5 Recommended Mesh Drumheads

The mesh drumhead is one of the items used to dampen the sound of drums. It is a sound-dampening item that is often used to replace the acoustic drumhead with a mesh drumhead for practice, or to replace the drumhead on electronic drums.
In recent years, with the spread of electronic drums, mesh drumheads have been released by various manufacturers. In this blog, I will introduce a 14-inch product as an example, but there are also toms and bass drums in the same series. If you want to be particular about the items you use, even for practice, please take a look!

Evans / TT14SO1 dB ZERO Mesh drumhead 14 inch

The Evans dB ZERO series of volume-reducing drum heads. 1-ply heads. Like regular Evans drum heads, they feature Evans' unique Level 360 technology, so they're easy to tune!

Remo / SN-0014-00 Silent Stroke 14 inch

Remo's Silent Stroke series. Reduces volume by approximately 90% compared to when a normal drumhead is attached. When comparing the volume of Remo's coated ambassador and silent stroke, there is a difference of approximately 20 decibels. Please check it out in the video!

TAMA / MH14T2 Mesh Head 2ply For 14 inch Drum

This is a 2-ply mesh drumhead made by the drum manufacturer TAMA. Because it is 2-ply, it has a more natural feel and allows you to practice with a feeling similar to that of acoustic drums. One of its attractive features is that it is more durable than 1-ply drumheads.

TAMA / MH14T

This is a 1-ply mesh drumhead made by TAMA. It also has excellent cost performance. It is perfect for home practice, etc., as it can be used in place of a regular drumhead.

Pearl / MFH14

Muffle head from drum manufacturer Pearl. The smallest size is 6 inches, so it is also easy to use for those who use drum sets other than the standard size.

Evans dB One Series

This series achieves a volume reduction of approximately 80% compared to standard drums. The impact patch attached to the head converts impact into sound waves, allowing you to play with a natural feel. The impact patch attached to the head means that the sound is a little louder than with a standard mesh drumhead, but it is recommended for those who want to place importance on the feel of the drum.

A snare head from the dB One series. It has a two-layer structure of mesh film and leather-cut film. When played with tension, it produces a sound similar to that of a snare drum with the strainer on, making it possible to play with a sound closer to that of an acoustic drum.

Roland / MH2-10

2-ply mesh drumhead for Roland's V-Drums electronic drums. As well as being a replacement for electronic drums, it can also be used in combination with the V-Drums sound module using the RT series drum triggers.

In this blog, I have introduced some recommended mesh drumheads. One of the problems drummers face is their practice environment. There are various types of sound-dampening products available, and there are also many different series of mesh drumheads available from various manufacturers. I hope that you will be able to find a mesh drumhead that suits your needs by referring to this blog.
