Realize the bass drum sound you've always craved.
The Powersonic bass drumheads give the drummer controlled mid-range and low end for the most powerful bass drum sound that's It, right out of the box.
The Powersonic bass drumheads are constructed of 2-ply 7-mil Mylar with two specifically placed internal subsonic dampening rings with External Snap-on Dampening System (ESDS) technology. The two mounted 3/4" internal dampening rings enhance low end without affixing trays or hard-backed dampening materials to the drumhead.
The unique patent pending ESDS system employs snaps mounted directly to the drumhead to eliminate the possibility of vibration. This allows you to easily customize your muffling, feel, and sustain for different playing situations by "snapping" the strategically placed weighted pillow to the drumhead. Also included is the Falam Slam for added attack and durability.
Features
Finally an easily customizable bass drum head for the ultimate kick sound. Order today!

I had read up on this head and decided to give it a try. I have to say that I'm very pleased with its performance. True, it's the most expensive head of its kind that you'll find, but it's also the best kick drum head I've ever played (and I've tried EMAD's, Powerstroke 3's, and Superkicks). I don't get what the other guys are talking when they say it's not loud enough. My bassist, who plays a Warwick thumb bass cranked through a 2X18 speaker cabinet, can hear me no problems, not mention my guitarist who plays through a Marshall half-stack. This thing really helps to project the sound. People just forget that because it's a thicker head (the thickest on the market that I know of), it needs to be tuned up to lower-mid range rather than really loose, like most rock drummers like to do with kick drums. I've got this head on a 22x20 ddrum dominion bass drum, and it sounds incredible, and that's without any internal muffling whatsoever! With the snap-on-able muffling pad, I get a tight, yet deep pocket sound that clicks very nicely with a hard beater and punches with a felt one. Without the snap-on padding, the sound is BIG and BOOMY, almost like Bonham's kick drum, giving me a nice sound spectrum to work with. Did I mention this head is PERFECT for playing mic'ed up? The only real area where the head is slightly, and I mean slightly, defficient is its sensativity (but you weren't honestly expecting that out of a two ply head anyway right?). Not the best head for jazz then, but if you want a solid, tough-as-nails head with incredible tone and versatility, this is it.

I placed this head on a DW 22x20 maple drum with a ported EQ3 and was not that impressed. Way overdampened for my taste. In a closed room, not bad but not great. For a live show not a chance. I ended up removing the button piece and also removing the internal dampening ring and now it is OK on my studio kit that is only used for recording. I would choose something else if you are looking for a dampned head, like an EMAD. My new favorite is an Evans clear EQ3 for a batter and an Evans Eq1 frosted for the front. Place a 4inch port with minor dampening on the batter head and you will be in heaven. My close friend swears by the Emad single ply and the "Retro screen" for the RES if you like the dampened style. I sure someone will say I am sooo wrong but if you are like me and take these reviews to heart, give it a shot and good luck.

Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
After using the original remo head w/impact pad on my club kit for 6 years, tried the aquarian super kick II. I broke the first layer head in 2 months, with an impact pad and still used a pillow in the drum. I bought the remo powersonic, wow! I do use the snap on pillow, but it's the first time in years I haven't used a pillow in the drum. Head sounds great has big thump.
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I don't know why everybody is thinking this is the best thing since sliced bread. Let me start with what bothers me the most, the floor mat that you are supposed to attach to the bottom to the domes that are another obstruction to the head. Then the 2 strips of foam that are on the inside of the head that you cannot remove if you want. I don't know how these made it to the market. It sounded like I was beating on a soaking wet cardboard box. I even took the ridiculous clip on piece off and they still sound too dampened. Everybody that likes these must have really bad kits for these to sound good. I put these on my new practice set of double bass Pearl Visions, I thought it was the lower quality set because I have always played on pro series sets ( my Pearl Masters and Tama artstars). I put on some Evans emad 2's and problem solved. They still aren't a pro sound but has some life to them. I bought the heads out of curiosity and the good reviews at the time. The emads are by far a better head and you have more flexibility with your sound. Don't make the same mistake I did.
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I liked the sound I got using the PowerSonic with an intact Ebony Remo PowerStroke 3 Reso Head - empty Bass.
For me, I found that the Clear was good, but the Coated Batter without the Falam Slam patch and without the Pad - Just the head without help - made for an excellent sound. Enough resonance; enough Beater impact sound with a hard felt beater; just enough pop and boom without boing or excessive boom. An excellent sound without having to resort to using any laundry. Normally, I tension the Reso higher than the Batter, but found roughly equal tension on both Batter and Reso made the combination work for me for most music genre'. PowerSonic seems to slightly accentuate the Low frequencies, which I like very much.
A fine sound out of the box.
A bit different sound, but equally appealing to me was a Clear PowerStroke 4 Batter used in conjunction with a Ported Remo Ebony PowerStroke 3 Reso.
I like the Coated version better -
Seemed well made
Good
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
Very nice head. It has a nice round tone if you tune it right. Excellent choice for those who want a profound bass sound.
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I've had this head for about 8 months and I have no problems with it. If you haven't got good foot control, try using the large heavy Aquarian patch instead of the small Remo to help dampen the center. Or tape it up. I also use the Kick Port tuned high when I want a PS3 or jazz sound. You got to know how to tune too. This is more of a pro head than for a beginner.
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I bought this a month ago. It is awful... It gives you a toneless clicking sound. I would only use this head if were playing speed metal or something where every stroke has to be clearly defined. It lacks any kind of tone at all. I hated it. Save your money and buy a powerstoke III instead.

this gave me the sound i have for so long wanted outta me pearl, just a nice deep hard hit
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I guess you could get a tight EMAD or SK round sound out of it, but it seems to meant for a big cannon open sound. I use no pillows or muffling on the resonant head and it works great. The coated one probably sounds like Bonham. I have no problems with the foam or pad.
Comments about Remo Powersonic Clear Bass Drumhead:
I have tried an Evans EMAD, and found that the outer plastic ring always comes off at some point. The Powersonic head is much more durable, with the only issue being that you have to snap the ESDS pad back on to the head once in a while after playing. The sound is incredible, much larger punch and attack than the EMAD, but also has a great low end. Buy this head if you want great attack and durability!
