Head 14'' Nylon P3
€14.00*
14“ P3 timbal head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - TIMBRA Thick or thin?P3 heads are thicker (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P2 heads, which is why they sound more saturated, they have less overtones and transmit an almost matt tone because they vibrate less than a thin head. The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. A thicker head might last a few gigs longer, but the difference is probably not to be mentioned. Take some time:The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve.
Head 14'' Super Nylon
€27.10*
Fibreglass coated 14'' supernylon superior head for charuto / repique mor, surdo or timbal - ContemporâneaDurable, strong, thick drum head with rich mids; fibreglass coating filters out unwanted overtones. Supernylon heads are made of a foil 32% times thicker than standard heads and have a special fibreglass coating on the underside producing a specific sound characteristic: reduced overtones, amplified mids, powerful sound. Super nylon heads are also particularly durable. Super nylon heads are always meant to be superior heads (batter heads), as they vibrate less due to their thick foil and their coating and they are therefore not suitable as resonance heads.Good to know:Give your head some time to settle! You will notice that there is a lot of strange sounds going on when you put on a new head. At first, a new drum head might sound a bit squeaky, until it gets used to the tension and the rim, it will stretch and eventually settle nicely onto the rim and into the hardware. In short - give it some time! A new head needs a few rehearsals until it sounds really good. A super nylon head is suitable for you if you like rich, strong and overtone-poor sound and you are looking for an especially durable head.
Head 14'' timbal special
€49.00*
Special timbal head 14" with supernylon coating and damper ringRich basses and powerful, lasting sound for your timbal! If this is to your taste and you already have a good playing technique, you can awaken unimagined qualities in your timbal with this type of head. Thick heads do not respond as easy as thin heads, so ideally you already bring a bit of experience in you playing technique in order to explore the whole range of sound qualities of this head. Inside, the head has a paper-like supernylon coating, which, together with the black damper ring, makes the sound rich and powerful and filters out unwanted overtones down to the last grain. The small creases that you often see at the edges of this type of head will smooth out once under tension. They occur during the pressing as a flat and 2-dimensional foil cannot be perfectly rounded on the edges without causing creases. However, as soon as the head is on your timbal and you pitch up your instrument, they'll disappear.
Head 14'' Nylon
€16.50*
Single-layered 14“ nylon head by Contemporânea for charuto, caixa (superior- and resonance head), snare (superior head), timbal, small surdo
A simple one-layer nylon head, easy to play and a standard drum head type by Contemporânea - this thinner version of drum heads is extremely responsive with a clean and clear intentionally overtone-rich sound, as thinner heads produce stronger vibration compared to thicker heads. A thin nylon head might be a great option for you if you like clean sound and if you are looking for an easy-to-play head.A good option e.g. for timbal players whose technique is still not so experienced as the head reacts fast and easy. You can also use it as a regular batter head or also as a resonance head on a Samba Reggae snare drum, and it goes perfectly as superior and/or resonance head on a charuto (14'' repinique). Even for small 14'' surdos, this head is a common option.
You will notice that between putting a new head on and playing on it for a while the sound will change positively. A new head might sound a bit whiny in the beginning, but as soon as it gets used to the tension and the rim of the shell, the sound will settle. As usual - good things are worth waiting for. A thin nylon head is suitable for you if you like the clear and light sound and if you want a head with an easy response.
Head 14'' Nylon P3
€11.90*
14“ P3 head (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - IZZO Thick or thin?P3 heads are thicker (P2='grossa'; P3='supergrossa') than P2 heads, which is why they sound more saturated, they have less overtones and transmit an almost matt tone because they vibrate less than a thin head. The thickness of a head has only little influence in how long it may last. A thicker head might last a few gigs longer, but the difference is probably not to be mentioned. Resonance head or batter head?P3 heads are ideal batter heads. Combine a P3 batter head on your charuto or surdo de mor with a P2 resonance head. It is also a good option for timbal heads. 14'' caixas or snare drums sometimes prefer the coated version and the really thin resonance head instead of a P2.Take some time:The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time. Each time you tune it, the head will fit itself more comfortably onto the rim of shell being the base for the head. Also in terms of sound, time has an effect on every head. New heads often sound a bit whiny when freshly fitted onto the drum. But after a short break-in time and regular playing, the sound will quickly improve. A new head also will lift the rim higher. Each time you tune your drum, the head will sit itself lower down on the base and the rim can settle.In short:New head - high rim, whiny sound.After a break-in time - low rim, nice sound.
Head 12'' Nylon GP3 high edge
€8.00*
12“ GP3 head for caixa / repinique / timbal (P3 - 250 Micron: 0,25mm) - GOPE
GP3 heads are thick, single-layered synthetic heads with a saturated sound, medium bass character and very little overtones. They produce a full, strong and almost matt tone due to their thickness and vibration behaviour - thick heads vibrate less than than thin heads. A special feature of the GP3 heads is the distance between the aluminium rim and and the surface of the head which is larger, compared to other brands, meaning that the head will settle well on your instrument shell straight away.
Resonance head or batter head?GP3 heads are ideally used as batter heads. For a resonance head, a thinner option will vibrate stronger and in combination with a GP3 batter head produce a nicer sound.
Give it some time:The life career of a head begins with the moment you put it on your drum for the first time.
