Installation
To install the Remo Pinstripe Coated head, ensure the drum shell bearing edge is clean and free of debris. Place the head centered on the shell and insert the tension rods. Tighten the lugs in a cross-pattern (star pattern) to ensure even tension across the head. Tune to your preferred pitch, keeping in mind that the Pinstripe design is engineered for a lower, more focused fundamental tone.
Compatibility
This drum head is compatible with any drum or percussion instrument featuring a standard 8-inch diameter bearing edge. It is designed for use as a batter head (the top head that is struck).
Additional Details
