Description

The Chord DMH-18 is a mesh drum head built for quiet practice and electronic kit conversions. The playing surface uses a tensile nylon mesh in place of a solid film, so the head produces a low, muted sound when you play. This makes it a practical choice when you want to work on your technique without filling the room with volume.

The 18in size suits bass drums and larger toms, and the mesh design gives you a natural rebound that feels close to a standard drum head. Because the mesh lets air pass through rather than resonating like a coated or clear head, the tone stays subdued while the stick response stays firm. If you are building an electronic kit, this head pairs well with a trigger to pick up your hits.

Fitting is the same as any replacement head. Seat it on the shell, add the hoop and tension rods, then tune to the feel you prefer. You can run the mesh looser for a softer rebound or tighter for a snappier response, depending on your playing style. It is a simple way to cut down noise at home or set up a kit for silent practice with headphones.

Frequently Asked

What size is the DMH-18?

It is an 18in mesh head, which suits bass drums and larger toms.

Why is a mesh head quieter?

The tensile nylon mesh lets air pass through instead of resonating, so it produces a muted sound rather than the full tone of a solid film head.

Can I use it on an electronic kit?

Yes. The mesh surface works well with a trigger, making it a good option for electronic drum conversions and silent practice.

Does it tune like a normal drum head?

Yes. It fits the same way and tensions with standard rods, so you can set it looser for softer rebound or tighter for a snappier feel.

Is it good for practice at home?

Yes. The muted sound keeps volume down, so you can practise without disturbing others.
