The Black Max® Marching Snare drumhead features a durable high-tension Technora® aramid fiber weave with a crisp, warm, articulate tone and soft feel.
The Black Max® Marching Snare drumhead features a durable high-tension Technora® aramid fiber weave with a crisp, warm, articulate tone and soft feel. Utilizing Remo's high-tension Duralock hoop, the industry-standard Black Max gives you the widest tuning range with maximum tone and outstanding projection. This is the preferred Marching Snare drumhead for Drumline, Marching Band, Indoor, and Drum Corp applications.
Kevlar/Max-Series are available in 12" (not all models),13-14" diameters, along with 14" metric for Premier models, and can not be custom made in other diameters. The most common marching snare-drum sizes on the market are 13" and 14" and larger diameter marching snare drum applications do not require high-tension drumheads.
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.
