Great Value - Quick and Easy Replacement Head
RhythmZoneUK 06.07.2017
The price and consistency of these heads make Meinl's doumbeks my preferred choice.

Easy to replace and a great sound.

Make sure you keep the tension evenly spread across all the screws (both when removing and replacing a head) - this will protect you from any warping of the shell and splitting of your new head. For example - if you number the screws 1 - 8 in a clockwise fashion, maybe start with 1, then, 5, 3 then 7, 2 then 6, 4 then 8, distributing the tension evenly and loosening/tightening only in slight increments. This protects the drum and the skin (both could break if the tension is out of balance), and leaves you with an evenly tensioned instrument.

It's also advisable to replace the upper part of the drum in the same position each time you replace a head - locking it in the same familiar position with the body of the drum. Maybe add a little oil to the screws to prevent any rusting - lengthening the life of your drum!

A final warning - don't wait long to remove a broken head. The uneven tension can warp of even break the body of your instrument.

perkussiv und präsent
Chris aus N. 25.02.2015
Dieses Fell für eine Doumbek eignet sich sehr gut, um damit die rhytmische Begleitung einer kleinen Combo zu übernehmen. Es klingt perkussiv, präsent aber nicht unangenehm. Die Höhen sind nicht übertrieben, die tieferen Frequenzen kommen gut durch.
Es berührt sich angenehmn, klebt und "quietscht" nicht.
Für die Doumbek in der kleinen sowie auch großen Combo nur zu empfeheln, da es in seinem Gesamtklang die Frequenzen anderer Rhythmusbegleitungen nicht überlagert.
