Remo Powerstroke 3

The bass drum batter with an inlay ring

The Powerstroke 3's underside inlay ring damps the head's edge, which is why it appears on so many bass drums: it gives a controlled thump with no further muffling needed.

  • Drumheads

    The consumable that changes a drum's voice more than the shell does. Single and double ply, clear and coated, with and without built-in muffling.

Made by

  • Remo

    Remo Belli's Mylar drumhead, introduced in the late 1950s, ended the era of calfskin and made drums that stayed in tune through weather and travel. The company went on to build world percussion with synthetic shells and heads — djembes, frame drums, and the tunable Roto Toms — and remains the largest drumhead maker in the world.
