Remo FD0514-00 14-Inch Fiberskyn Diplomat Drum Head

I sanded down, polished the hardware, and re-stained an old 80's Pearl floor tom. I then ordered one of these as the batter head. It sounds great, very warm, rich, full, and thick sound, really bringing out the full breadth of the timbre that the drum can produce. I personally would go for another head with a little more light and dry sound for a studio recording setup, but I plan to use this drum for occasional drum circles or casual playing with some velvet mallets and I think the sound it produces will be perfect for that application. I would also consider this head great for concert percussion applications.

Great drum head. Performs as advertised!

This is a good head for brushes. I was hoping it would have a little rougher surface, but it seems that it will last longer as a brush head than coated heads which can lose their roughness if used for stick playing which smooths the head down. The sound is fantastic and I was able to tune it so that it would compliment the sound of my tom-toms when playing without snares. It gives a perfect sound for a drum solo when I'm changing dynamics a lot and trying to sound like a tympanist. I am looking forward to trying out the other heads in the Fiberskyn line and overall I feel that the sound from this head makes my snare drum sound better than ever before.

This is great for me, Nice lowish mellowish tone on my 14 x 6..5 snare. I added a 40s snareweight with a snareweight Junior brass on one side, and a snareweight M1 on the other side, and with a Puresound 16 strand snare I got just the right combo for a lovely tone. Longevity I don't yet know about because these are reported to bubble (on the top coating) but I hit light with very light maple sticks so I'm not concerned.

Our sons drum kit is a Ludwig Accent starter kit. It's well made but came with cheep heads. After the original heads were spent we asked his drum instructor to recommend some good heads. On his advise we bought a mixed assortment of Remo heads. They are all wonderful sounding heads and this one is my favorite. The new heads transformed the kit from a boomy ringing tone to a very nice pro level sound. The Diplomat and Ambassador heads work great together. They have held up well. Highly recommended.

I started using Remo fiberskin long ago, about 40 years ago. I stopped using these because they were not very durable. Other than that, I really like the warm tone they give. I play mostly jazz and funk and I use brushes now and then, so this drumhead fits my style. About durability we'll see if after 40 years they improved it or not.

I've played for 50 years. This is my first time with a Fiberskyn head. Like the feel with brushes. Snappy with sticks. Think it will be great for this application -- lower volume Blues, Jazz, funk. I'll update after doing a few gigs with it.

Wonderful hand drumming experience. Ive come a long way using this fine piece, in confidence. Totally recommend. Price is right, too! Drum a little each day, just plain nonsense... and soon rhythms of your own materialize. Great fun and so relaxing.

El mejor parche del mercado, además precioso . Vale la pena pagar por la marca

a classic that sounds good

El parche suena de maravilla. Lo único que no me ha gustado es que ahora la caja suena mucho mas fuerte (antes tenía un parche Ludwig). Esto que podría ser bueno para algunos baterías, a mí, que toco jazz y blues suaves, me da problemas. Me suena demasiado. Y si intento tocar piano, el color del sonido ya no me gusta. Me queda la batería desequilibrada. No sé si esto pasará en todas las cajas.
