Description
Overview
The RTOM Black Hole 16″ Practice Head is a professional-grade volume reduction solution designed to eliminate the conflict between a drummer’s need to practice and the need for quiet in a shared environment. By utilizing a high-tension mesh design, this practice head allows you to play your existing acoustic drums with the feel and response you expect, but at a fraction of the original volume.
Key Details
- Significant Volume Reduction: Lowers the volume of your drums by approximately 80%, allowing you to play at only 20% of the original decibel level.
- Realistic Playability: Features heavy-duty mesh combined with a specially designed sound patch to provide the most realistic rebound and feel possible for a practice surface.
- Rapid Deployment: The system is designed to snap directly onto your existing drumheads, meaning there is no need to remove your current heads to begin practicing.
- Single-Point Tuning: Includes an integrated tuning system that allows you to adjust the tension of the mesh to your personal preference using a single point of contact.
- Professional Durability: Constructed from industrial-strength mesh engineered to withstand a lifetime of rigorous, high-impact practice sessions.
Use Cases
This practice head is an essential tool for drummers of all skill levels and ages in the following scenarios:
- Home Practice: Ideal for apartment dwellers or family homes where full-volume acoustic drumming is not feasible.
- Late-Night Sessions: Allows for technical study and rudiment practice during hours when noise ordinances or sleeping household members are a concern.
- Studio Environments: Useful for reducing bleed into other microphones during recording sessions or for quiet rehearsal in shared studio spaces.
Installation
Installation is designed to be instantaneous and non-destructive. The Black Hole head simply snaps onto your regular drumhead. Because it sits on top of your existing head, you do not need to spend time removing hardware or re-tuning your primary drumheads. Once snapped into place, use the single-point tuning system to dial in the desired tension for your playing style.
Compatibility
The Black Hole 16″ Practice Head is compatible with any standard acoustic drum or percussion instrument with a 16-inch diameter. It is designed to fit over standard drumheads regardless of the brand or ply of the underlying head.
