Remo s popular Pinstripe drumheads are made from 2 plies and internally muffled to dampen both the high overtones and overall resonance. The result is a very focused low pitched sound with moderate attack and response characteristics-ideal for creating a deeper fatter controlled drum sound in a variety of studio and live drumming situations. The coated surface also makes the pinstripe coated drumhead from Remo better suited for brush work.
