Description

The Chord DMH-20 is a 20-inch mesh drum head built for quiet practice and use with electronic kits. Instead of a solid plastic film, it uses a woven nylon mesh that produces a muted, low-volume sound when struck. That makes it a practical choice for playing at home, in flats, or anywhere a full acoustic sound would be too much.

The tensile nylon mesh gives you a natural stick rebound that feels close to a standard drum head, so your technique carries over when you move between practice and performance. Because the mesh is open rather than sealed, the head lets air through and keeps the acoustic level right down, which is why players fit these when converting an acoustic shell into a quieter setup or a trigger-ready electronic drum.

This head fits a 20-inch drum, a size usually found on the bass drum (also called the kick drum in the US), so check your shell diameter before ordering. Fitting is the same as any standard drum head: seat it over the shell, add the counterhoop and tension rods, then tune to the feel you prefer. Higher tension gives a firmer, livelier rebound, while lower tension makes for a softer response. For anyone building a practice kit or adding triggers, the DMH-20 is a straightforward way to cut the volume without changing how the drum plays.

Frequently Asked

What size drum does the DMH-20 fit?

It fits a 20-inch drum, measured across the shell diameter. This size is most often used on a bass drum, sometimes called a kick drum. Check your shell before ordering.

Why is a mesh head quieter than a normal drum head?

The woven nylon mesh lets air pass through rather than sealing the drum like a solid film. This cuts the acoustic volume right down while keeping a natural stick rebound.

Can I use this head with an electronic kit?

Yes. Mesh heads are commonly used on electronic drums and trigger-ready shells because they keep the volume low while still responding like an acoustic head.

Does a mesh head feel different to play?

The tensile nylon mesh gives a stick rebound close to a standard head, so your playing technique carries over. You can adjust the feel by changing the tension.

How do I fit and tune the DMH-20?

Fit it like any standard drum head: seat it over the shell, add the counterhoop and tension rods, then tune to your preferred feel. Higher tension gives a firmer rebound.
