BUYING the CHEAPEST Drum Heads on Amazon and they were only $37 for a full set of batter heads (12, 13, 14, 16, 22). These are basically a bootleg remo pinstripe. If youve been paying attention, these look very similar to the heads that come on the Donner drum sets and Eastar drum sets. Im 99% sure these ARE the heads that come on those drum kits. Theyre very thicc and punchy, but are surprisingly decent drum heads!

    I don’t know much about drum heads but I think for the price those sounded amazing. I’d expect them to be super easily broken and sound like a drum kit for kids but those were really decent. I guess almost anything can sound good when someone who knows what they’re doing is tuning/playing them.

    I was pretty sure you were going to say, "You get what you pay for and these are crap." That's pretty cool that they worked okay. Didn't sound amazing, but they didn't sound terrible. It would be fine for just practicing, jamming or putting on a kit to sell. (I would definitely recommend them for that house kit I played on a couple weeks ago that had absolutely worn out, out-of-tune heads.)

Wish I could've known these in the 70's and 80's. But on this video the first thing I noticed was how perfectly matched your cymbals were. They matched perfectly with all 3 genres of the music you played. Not even bad drums and/or drum heads make a set sound worse than wrong cymbals. You know your stuff and even at my old ass age (67) I can learn from you. Well done!

    If you only had one kit, and didn't want to ruin your expensive heads this would be an amazing option. Leave these heads on the kit for practice. They don't sound perfect, but well enough. And then just take them off and put your professional heads on for performances. That way, you can have nice heads, but they'll be rotated out with the practice heads and you won't need replacing nearly as often so you actually save a mint over time.
