The PowerPly heads are produced by Remo to Roland's specifications and are available in six different sizes for snare and toms (8", 10", 12", 13", 14", and 16"), and three different sizes for bass drum (18", 20", and 22"). They can also be used as replacement mesh heads for V-Drums V-Pads (all models except PDX-8 and PDX-6).

According to Roland's press release:

"With the PowerPly series, acoustic drummers can now enjoy the benefits of Roland's patented mesh-head technology for quiet practice at home and sound-triggering applications with hybrid setups."

Roland suggests to use PowerPly heads in situations where regular drumheads would be too loud. Think of it as a great solution for home practice.

The quiet acoustic performance is also a benefit for teaching studios, enabling students to develop techniques on full-size drums with natural response, as opposed to the small size and stiff feel of typical practice pad sets.

Last but not least, hybrid drum sets that combine acoustic and electronic elements have become increasingly popular over the last few years, and are a necessity for playing many modern styles.

Roland's PowerPly heads deliver great results when used with Roland's RT-30 Acoustic Drum Triggers and a V-Drums sound module or percussion pad, giving players the ability to experiment and perform with various sounds while maintaining the look and feel of an acoustic drum kit.
