Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit any 8-inch tom?
It is built for the 8-inch Rhythm Traveler tom. Other 8-inch drums may work, but check your hoop and bearing edge for a proper seat.
02How quiet is it really?
The head itself produces very little sound. What remains is stick attack and hardware noise, which can still carry through walls and floors.
03Can I use this to trigger drum sounds?
Mesh alone makes no signal. You would need a trigger mounted to the drum to send anything to a module.
04Does mesh feel like a regular head?
Rebound is close and often slightly livelier. Tune it tighter or looser to dial the stick response toward what you are used to.
