Remo Powerstroke Drum Heads - Controlled Tone for Bass Drum & Snare

The Remo Powerstroke range has long been a favourite among drummers who want natural tone control without the need for additional dampening. The key to the Powerstroke design is the inlay ring - a thin layer of film bonded near the outer edge of the head that subtly mutes high-frequency overtones while preserving the fundamental tone and attack. The result is a focused, balanced sound that sits cleanly in a live or studio mix.

At Into Music Store, we stock the Powerstroke 3 for bass drum and tom use, and the Powerstroke 77 for snare drum, across Clear, Coated, and Ebony finishes.

The Powerstroke 3 is the most versatile option in the range. For bass drum, it's available in Clear and Coated finishes in 20" and 22", with the Clear delivering a brighter, more open attack and the Coated producing a warmer, rounder low-end. The 18" Ebony Powerstroke 3 is a resonant skin with built-in damper rings and a Dynamos Port, making it ideal for drummers who want a pre-configured front head solution. The 14" Powerstroke 3 Coated is a solid choice for snare or tom use, offering the same focused mid and low tone character in a standard batter head format.

The Powerstroke 77 is designed specifically for snare drum. The standard Coated version features a thin underlay at the outer rim for crisp, controlled tone with plenty of projection. The Clear Dot Coated version adds a laminated centre dot for extra focus and durability at the strike point - a popular choice for drummers who want a tighter, more defined snare sound.

As an authorised Remo stockist, every head we sell is genuine and backed by Remo's quality standards. If you're searching for a drum store near me or looking to buy Remo Powerstroke heads online in the UK, Into Music Store offers fast delivery with next day options available on most orders.
