I bought this mesh head for my old jazz kit, in view of turning it into a silent and electronic kit.
The mesh head is a easy to install as a conventional head. once under tension, I noticed that the natural sound of my bass drum shell resonated. Tuning it was quite simple, and the light sound of the shell came as a nice surprise, as I can play my kit without necessarily having to connect the triggers.
I bought this once seven years ago and it is still in great condition. I tune it every 4 to 6 months, but that's about it. Excellent value for money, and perfect for converting and old drum kit.
