Why are V-Drums So Quiet?
When an acoustic drum head is struck,
the surrounding air vibrates, and sound
is produced. The harder it’s struck, the
more the head moves, and the louder the
volume. With Roland’s patented mesh
head, the air can pass through the gaps
in the mesh fabric—the surrounding air
does not vibrate. This is what makes the
mesh head so quiet.
Mutli-Layer Mesh Makes a Difference
You see them stamped on every Roland
drum head, numerous US Patent Numbers.
One of these patents covers our multi-layer
mesh heads for both electronic and acoustic
percussion. In addition to being nearly silent,
Roland two-ply mesh heads are extremely
durable—much more so than single-ply mesh
heads.
The two-ply structure also brings another
amazing trait to the mix; it broadens the playable
“feel-good” tension range. Simply put, two-ply Roland mesh heads feel better at much wider tension
ranges than single-ply mesh heads.
