I installed the Millenium QuiHead on a 12" snare drum of a Tama Club Jam Mini to be able to practise with less noise. The meshhead achieved exactly that. The sound of course differs from an acoustic set with "real" drumheads, but for my purposes the meshhead is ideal. Even without a trigger, the snare drum, with a regular reso-head, gives of a snare sound. It seems very durable and the response is similar to a regular head if under the right tension.
