What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01
Two plies with a damping agent between them near the edge. It kills high overtones without adding external muffling.
Detail 02
More attack and brightness than a coated head, and it shows the shell interior rather than a matte surface.
Detail 03
The head is molded into its own hoop for marching tenor hardware. It will not fit a standard tensioned drum.
Detail 04
The small drum in a tenor set. Sizes are exact, so measure before ordering a replacement.
Detail 05
Lower pitch, shorter decay and stronger resistance to denting than a single-ply head under heavy sticking.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Both are two-ply. Pinstripe adds damping between the plies near the edge, so it rings noticeably less and gives a shorter, fatter note than a plain two-ply head.
No. The molded Crimplock hoop requires marching tenor hardware. A conventional drum tensioned with rods and a counterhoop will not accept it.
It is the drier option. If you want more sustain and ring off the drum, a non-damped two-ply head suits better.
No. The Crimplock hoop is part of the head, but you reuse the drum's existing mounting hardware to install it.
