Get to know them!





Get your DW toms sounding their best with DW Coated/Clear drumheads by Remo. You may recognize Coated/Clears as the stock batter heads on DW Collector's Series and Performance Series drums - so if you're looking to recapture the magic of the first time you played your kit, this is your chance! This hybrid head provides the "wet" attack and full resonance of a clear head, but with a coated silkscreened edge to provide just the right amount of overtone damping without sounding choked. DW Coated/Clear heads feature Remo's glued-channel crimped aluminum flesh hoops, which help to transfer the maximal vibrational energy between the head and drum and also keep the heads from pulling out through high tensioning.
