Remo PS-0316-00 Pinstripe Clear Drumhead – 16″

Dual-Ply Construction — Fat Tone & Controlled Sustain

The Pinstripe Clear is constructed using two layers of 7-mil clear Mylar film, creating a durable 14-mil total thickness. This dual-ply design helps reduce excessive high-frequency overtones, shorten sustain, and emphasize a deeper fundamental pitch and stronger low-end body compared to many single-ply drumheads.

Built-In Overtone Control — Moderate Attack & Low-End Response

A specialized overtone-control agent is applied between the two film plies within the dampening zone located outside the printed pinstripe ring. This targeted dampening helps control excessive ring and secondary overtones near the outer perimeter of the head, producing a characteristically low-pitched floor tom response with moderate attack and controlled sustain suitable for both live and studio applications.

Broad Application Versatility — Optimized for Modern Drum Set Applications

Widely used across modern drum set applications, the 16″ Pinstripe Clear serves as an excellent batter head for floor toms requiring controlled resonance and focused tone. Its durable dual-ply construction handles heavier playing styles while maintaining a consistent and mix-friendly tonal character in larger drum diameters.

Why It Works

The Remo Pinstripe Clear combines durable dual-ply construction with integrated overtone control to deliver a focused, low-pitched floor tom sound without requiring excessive external dampening. The result is a warm, controlled tone with reduced sustain and reliable performance across a wide range of playing environments.

Where It Really Excels

Rock & Pop Applications: The dual-ply construction delivers a deep fundamental tone, controlled sustain, and the durability required for modern drum set sounds.

Studio Recording: Controlled overtones and reduced sustain help produce mix-friendly floor tom tones with less need for additional dampening.

Challenging Room Acoustics: Built-in overtone control helps maintain clarity and focus in highly reflective rehearsal rooms, stages, and recording spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the overtone-control material used in the Pinstripe head?

The Pinstripe series features a specialized overtone-control agent applied between the two film plies within the dampening zone identified by the pinstripe ring. This design helps reduce secondary overtones and sustain, contributing to the controlled, low-pitched tonal character associated with the series.

Can this 16″ Clear head be used as a resonant (bottom) head?

While it is technically possible to use it as a resonant head, the Pinstripe Clear is primarily designed as a batter-side drumhead. Its dual-ply construction and built-in overtone control will significantly reduce sustain and openness compared to a typical single-ply resonant head. For most applications, thinner single-ply heads are preferred on the resonant side to maximize resonance and tonal complexity.
