Installation
To install the Remo Pinstripe Coated head, begin by removing the existing head and cleaning the bearing edge of the drum shell to ensure a flat, debris-free surface. Place the new head onto the shell, ensuring it is centered perfectly.
Insert the tension rods and tighten them in a cross-pattern (star pattern). This ensures even tension across the head, preventing warping and ensuring the most accurate tuning. Use a drum key to gradually increase tension until the desired pitch and resonance are achieved.
Compatibility
This drum head is compatible with any drum or percussion instrument featuring a 16″ diameter bearing edge. It is designed for use as a batter head (the top head that is struck).
Additional Details
The Remo Pinstripe series is renowned for its ability to provide a “fat” sound without the need for excessive muffling or dampening gels. By integrating the coating with the two-ply structure, Remo has created a head that maintains structural integrity under heavy use while delivering a professional, polished sonic character.
