Roland MH2-18 PowerPly Mesh Head 18" bass drum head

General

The first generation of Mesh Heads was presented by Roland back in 1997. They were used for electronic drum kits then, but the Roland MH2-18 PowerPly Mesh Head 18-inch bass drum mesh head can also be used on an acoustic drum kit. This allows you to make a drum kit sound a lot softer. These sheets with small holes deliver a very authentic playing feel but fewer decibels. Another option is to fit this sheet with an RT trigger, thus turning your 18-inch bass drum into an electronic version in no time. By using a module, you can connect different sounds to this, turning your entire kit into an electronic set.

• Note: this bass drumhead is best played with a plastic beater
