Millenium QuiHead 22" Mesh Head

Ordered a set of these, 10/14 for toms and 22 for kick. Also a remo equivalent for the snare for comparison.

The main purpose works really well - it's super silent.
The feel of the drums is not great, as with any mesh heads you get a more "jumpy" response.
Tone is not bad, I found that applying some extra tape will make it sound more drumlike.

I gave 3 starts for quality because the 22 head already has a serious "dent" where the beater hits it (let's say after around 80-100h of play with a felt beater). Still playable but not amazing.

Comparing to the silentstroke on my snare these heads have a touch more snap and similar tone, but for half the price i think these are amazing value.

Hi all.

Trying to be positive, they are incredibly cheap, so I guess that I can not complain to much. I got two of these heads and they are terrible for just one simple reason, THE SIZE!!!. They are not exactly 22" but somehow smaller. I had to use an already used mesh head that I had at hand so I could fit the QuiHead on top and tension it. As a direct consequence, is nearly impossible to tension it as the drum hoop does not fit properly on top of it.

Compared side by side the 22" QuiHead and the 22" Pearl muffle heads that I was using before:
- both head do not match in size when put one of top of the other, QuiHead is smaller.
-QuiHead rin is thinner in length and width.
- Playability is limited to the tension that you are able to get out of it, and as I explained, it is not the best one.

It might very well be a case that I was unlucky and got TWO wrong heads, but it sounds odd. Nevertheless, first impression is everything and I am not very happy with these.

Cheers.

Fitted to a very cheap bass drum for a practice kit.
There's a lot of give in this material as its a very large diameter, so I did have to crank the skin to high tension. But after doing this and after stretching the head felt good and very similar to my acoustic head.
It's very very quiet, to the point where my bandmates were getting thrown because they couldn't hear the bass drum. I stuck on a small patch made from a yoga mat and now it has a decent but not loud thwack when the beater hits the skin.
Fundamentally thoug, no more moaning neighbors, yet still a great feel!
Super service and customer relations from Thomann!
