Remo Batter, SILENTSTROKE™, 16'' Diameter

The SN1016 fits your 16" drums and drops your playing volume exponentially while still giving you the acoustic tone of your kit. End your practicing frustrations with Remo's Silentstroke SN1016 mesh drumhead. I wanted to write this review to inform others as I have tried Roland's power stroke 2 ply mesh heads as well as a Drum-tec real feel 3 ply mesh heads.

Everyone says the 2 and 3 ply trigger better, but I have found the opposite to be true, at least with the Roland RT30 triggers. Also I have found the 2 and 3 ply heads rattle around and are very noisy where these Remo single ply silent strokes have no rattle or buzz and are very very quiet.

Great job Remo! It's really great having a real drum kit to play vs the small electronic pads and aluminum frame drum stands. Buy these, an electronic drum module, a trigger for each drum and a cheap acoustic set and it will be a way better experience than a regular electronic kit.

I really like it! At first I was skeptical of the whole Silent stroke series regarding the feel of them and sound compared to normal heads. Now you don't have to compromise playing feel by using thick rubber pads that don't give you a natural response or ruin your gigging heads with ineffective dampers.
