Crimplock Drumheads for Drumset Use | Remo

Can I use The Crimplock® Drumheads on my drumset? - The Crimplock® hoop is a hybrid design combining a crimped leg over the WeatherKing® poured channel technology, locking the film into the collar for added strength, durability, and tuning consistency in high-tension marching applications. Though some drumset players utilize The Crimplock® drumheads for those benefits they are not required for drumset. Standard Remo drumheads for drumset, use an open-channel construction which allows the film to relax and vibrate freely promoting optimum tone and resonance, and a wider tuning range. This design is made to accommodate various counter-hoops and bearing edges out in the market today and has been used by most leading manufacturers since the beginning.

Marching 'Kevlar' Heads for Drumset Use | Remo

Can I use Kevlar or Max series marching-style heads on drum-set style snare or toms? - It is not recommended to use marching-style drumheads on standard snare or toms for drum-set. Marching snare drums generally have a top aluminum bearing edge casting to handle the tension of our aramid fiber-woven batter heads. Most often the bottom side wood bearing edge will be fitted with a reinforcement ring on the inner-wall to accept higher tensions from our aramid fiber snare side drumheads. All of our woven aramid fiber heads deliver a crisp/high-pitch sound. Kevlar and Max-series drumheads allow for very high tension (Kevlar snare-side heads can reach loads to around 9,000 lbs and Max-series heads can reach loads up to 30,000 lbs) and can potentially collapse a standard shell bearing edge if enough pressure is applied.
