Its single-ply 10-mil coated PET film offers a traditional texture that enhances stick response and brush articulation.

The result is a classic sound that works equally well in studio or live settings.Ideal for drummers who prefer a more vintage tonal palette, this head provides clarity in higher tunings and rich low-end resonance when tuned down. Additionally, its moderate sustain helps maintain a focused tone that blends easily in any mix.Construction and DurabilityBuilt with a quality aluminium rim reinforced by a steel core, the DNACT12 ensures stability and long-lasting performance. The strong rim structure maintains even tension across the surface, while the coated film resists wear from repeated strikes.
