This hybrid head is what DW's John Good describes as a Remo Powerstroke 3 style. The clear playing surface provides a modern slap and solid punch, while the silkscreened coated edge and damping underlay ring reduce unwanted overtones 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.

Remo makes all of DW's heads according to DW's specs. So when you buy DW drumheads, you can be sure you're getting a good pairing for your DW drum kit. Sweetwater drummers applaud DW for pushing the envelope not only on custom drums, but on modern drumheads as well.
