Best Sound from Mesh Drumheads | Season Two, Episode 30

Most of us have become conscious of this simple truth about drums at one point or another; they can get quite loud. Whether it was a friendly comment from a family member or a pounding on the wall from a neighbor, we can’t help for remember that not everyone enjoys the floor shaking, wall rattling thunder that is a drum set. Lately, mesh heads have become a common solution for those looking to practice on their drums but at a lower volume. Still, there are some major sacrifices associated with mesh heads vs. traditional drumheads so we set out to highlight the associated pros, cons, and some tips for getting the most (or the least sound) out of mesh drumheads.
