RemoSilentstroke Drum Head 18 in.
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
An 18-inch Silentstroke head turns the drum into a lower-volume practice surface without moving away from the kit. The pliable mesh is described as responsive and springy, while the open weave lets the shell’s tonality resonate. Remo rates the Silentstroke approach at more than 70 percent less volume than a standard single-ply drumhead. It is also positioned to spare performance heads from regular practice wear, with tear-resistant mesh intended for repeated use.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Quiet full-kit practice in shared homes, apartments, and townhomes.
- Maintaining stick technique on an 18-inch drum at substantially reduced volume.
- Using a dedicated practice head to keep performance heads fresher for gigs.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Sessions that need the volume of a standard single-ply drumhead.
- Drums that require a head size other than 18 inches.
