Remo solved another drum sound problem on dampening the bass drum with the new Powerstroke 3 Felt Tone bass drumheads.
These drumheads have a free-floating dampening strip built into the drumhead without glues. For drummers who rather don't have a hole in the front of their bass drum, this is ideal. The dampening is highly responsive and the effect is amazing, even without any other cloths of foam inside the bass drum.
As you can see in the video Drummerszone made at the NAMM Show 2017, the 26" Dunnett bass drum is almost naturally dampened while keeping the distinct sound and low of the drum. Not only drummers, but for sure sound technicians will be happy with this innovation.
Free-Floating
The free-floating feature is truly free and floating. The Powerstroke construction of the inlay has a Mylar strip over the felt strip holding it in place. Also, the strip gets more tension when you tune the drum higher, and vice versa.
For the ones out there who are still using that old felt strip, and always trying to keep it tightened and in place; this invention makes it actually look cool on the Hazy bass drumheads as well.
The Felt Tone bass drumheads are available in either Hazy or Fiberskyn film.
