The Remo Controlled Sound reverse dot coated snare head gives you a focused controlled tone with balanced sensitivity. You ll get a medium-weight single-ply Mylar drum head with a dot in the center that dampens unwanted overtones and provides durability for heavier playing styles. The playing surface surrounding the dot offers mid-range tone and sensitivity. This combination of characteristics gives you a head with the volume and attack of a single-ply but the focus of a double-ply. For over 50 years Remo has been creating high-quality drum heads that meet the needs of musicians worldwide.
