These are the best snare side heads for 12 inch snare drum symphonic application. Crisp and dry. Too bad Remo does not make a 12 inch 5mil batter side head, but little market for such a product.

Remo is the only manufacturer who offers 200 mil heads for oversize snare drums (15" & 16"). I tune them very low on my 16" drums, and they still sound amazing. Perfect e.g. on my 1973 vintage Ludwig 16" x 12" parade drum. I really hope that Remo once offers an opaque Diplomat - gauge snare bottom head, as all the other types are medium- to heavy gauge!

It goes without saying that this is the best snare side drum head out there, bar none! I have auditioned ALL the others.

The Regal Tip 5A drum sticks you sent were excellent! Thank you.

I put this puppy on a used Ludwig 12 by 15 marching snare drum that was a free gift. I had some Hinger snares that I wanted to use and Terry Cornett of Heritage Drums added a very deep snare bed to the drum. It had a Ludwig Classic strainer so the original snare bed was very shallow and wide. The Remo head worked out perfectly with a modified Emperor batter head. The only other comment I have is that I wish Remo offered a truly opaque snare side head instead of just "hazy".

Great bottom head for a smaller drum. It's incredibly thin, giving you a fantastic amount of snare response. Just put it on my Pearl Piccolo (paired with an M5 on top) and it sounds great for soft snare drum excerpts like Kije and Scheherazade.
