REMO14.6" Controlled Sound Coated Snare/Tom Head

Can't go wrong with this drum head. I'm on my second one in 3 to 4 years. Its built to last. Its hard wearing, focussed in sound with some over rings that are easily tackled using moon gel or equivalent. I used it in a pop punk setting initially, but it is also doing the job in the blues genre too, meaning i can use one snare for both settings. I also believe Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers uses this snare drum head because he is a heavy hitter and it provides the right sound for that setting.

I’ve used Remo almost exclusively for 30+ years. I’m familiar with the sounds you can get out of each product.. these are probably my favourite snare drum heads. I don’t change heads too often as I like them played in a bit so they must be pretty durable. 😊They look like a drum head with a dot in the middle the price seems a little steep but in line with others.

Lovely snare sound. Described accurately and arrived on time.

Easy to fit and tune. The central coated control sound area certainly gives a pleasing sound. I'm using it on a Pearl steel snare. It helps reduce the "ringing".Not so sure about durability. After one rehearsal session of 3 hours, the centre was certainly showing signs of wear and I'm not a heavy hitter.But overall, pleased with it.** One year on and I'm still using and loving it. It's had a few gigs and rehearsals as well as practice sessions and has kept it tuning well. And its wearing well too**

replaced fiberskyn head which kept delaminating through use, perfect tight sound with just the right amount of 'ring' but still controllable.

Having been an Evans user for years I thought I'd try a Remo Controlled sound for one of my metal snares as I'd read some good reviews.I've now done two gigs with it and it's living up to the good reviews. Lovely tuned slightly higher than I'd usually go, but that's where it comes alive on my snare.Maybe I should try Remo across the rest of my kit?

I've used these heads a few times and never had a problem. This time the dot on the under side which makes it a controlled sound has come away from the skin

The Remo Coated CS Dot is my go to head when I want a little more focus and durability. I find they work great on metal shelled snare drums, this head went on a 14x6.5 Gretsch USA Bronze which is a bit of a beast, and it tunes up or down easily. Still a little ringy but I like that and can be easily tamed with some dampening if needed.These heads last a while too, highly recommended if you something durable but not dead.
