What are the benefits of using the Felt Tone drumhead versus installing felt across the head or the Aquarian head that's similar?
The Felt strip on the Felt Tone drumhead is adhered to the underlay ring that splits vertically down the head and is free-floating from the head. Aquarian is fixed to the head itself. The traditional method of installing a felt strip would usually require 2 people to hold the felt taut while installing the head...this causes uneven contact between the collar of the drumhead and bearing edge and effects tuning and tone, and visually unappealing with a crooked head on the shell.

Tuning your drum set drums involves evenly tightening the batter and resonant heads to achieve balanced tone and desired sustain. A resonant head tuned slightly higher than the batter head creates clearer overtones and a more focused sound across your kit.
What's the difference between batter and resonant drumheads, and how do I choose the right one for my drum?
Batter drumheads are the ones you strike and are available in different thicknesses and features to match your desired sound and playing style. Resonant drumheads, found on the bottom of the drum, enhance tone and sustain, with thinner versions used for greater sensitivity, especially on snare drums. Choosing the right drumhead depends on the drum type and the sound you want to achieve.
