What Does This Head Do to a Floor Tom?
It shortens the decay and adds low-end punch, so the drum reads as a short, thick hit rather than a long ringing tom. Remo describes the result as bass drum like.
Will It Fit My Floor Tom?
It uses a thin tom-style hoop specifically to accommodate metal flange-style counter hoops. Available in 16 and 18 inches, which covers standard floor tom sizes.
What Is the Dot For?
Added durability at the impact point. Floor toms take heavy strikes and the dot extends head life without changing the tone of the outer area.
Why Remo
Remo has made drumheads in the United States since 1957, when Remo Belli replaced calfskin with Mylar and ended the problem that had defined drumming until then: a head that changed pitch with the weather. Every major head design since has come out of that company, and the Ambassador remains the most widely used drumhead in the world. Remo also builds world percussion, marching heads and the Acousticon shells used across its drum circle range.
