Just changed my 1st set of heads on my toms.picked up my 1st drum set used on marketplace a few weeks back.enjoying learning very much. I always thought it was going to require a little more work to change them heads..i will take that over a new guitar setup any day.
I recently purchased a hardly used Pearl 5 piece set. The drums were perfect except the snare. The coating was worn off the batter head and the sound was way off. I did some research and found this video. I changed out the original Pearl batter head with an Evans heavyweight coated head. This video made it so easy! I was so impressed with the outcome, and it sounds amazing! Thank you Jared Falk. I liked Jared’s manner of instruction so much that I just took advantage of the 12 year anniversary deal at Drumeo! I have so much to learn!
I came here to find out how to change heads and the detail I needed wasn’t shown at all. The removal detail was shot from above and the reattachment was on time lapse. I need these minutes back.
No offense, I love your videos, but if you're not recording or something I wouldn't bother changing the heads unless they're obviously dented. Especially not every 90 days when you play for half an hour a day. They will work absolutely fine for a long time. They will lose some freshness after maybe half a year or so, but thats a MINOR change in sound. Hell I just bought a Acrolite with a head from the 70s and it still sounds killer. Wouldn't change that for a live situation.
When he says *change the heads* I was like "do you mean _tune_ the heads?" you couldn't srsly be saying buy a new head every 90 days - thats how I interpreted it
The last time I changed my drumeheads was 6 years ago but now they are fine. I think that this is due to the fact that I play the dums 2 hours a week. Do I really have to replace them or, since there condition is still good, not?
I use the Rob Brown methods of tuning drums. They're the fastest, easiest, and most effective methods I've ever used. Look him up on TH-cam. #MaximumThumpification
2:23 WAIT... NOT IN 6 POINTED STAR FASHION? GOING FROM ONE POINT TO THE OPPOSITE??? Won't that unevenly stress/damage the head? 4:43 But then he tightens it that way... hmmm
Just BTW the pushing down on the head ISN'T to stretch it, it's called "seating" the head and it makes sure the head is aligned on the drum and there isn't any slack on the outside. Great video otherwise.
I am a beginner drummer. Using a beginner kit that we got for my son probably 4 years ago. I play probably 8-10 hrs a week. My son probably less before he went off to school. I just got a new set of heads hoping to improve the sound, but as I am new I came to watch this video before replacing them just to get some tips. Great video. Thanks!
Haven’t changed my heads in 8 years lmao. I started playing drum set when I was 6 and now I’m 14 so I used my own money to buy new drum heads for my snares and toms. I changed and tuned them and they sound so good now
Awesome job Jared! One thing that amazes me is how often you need to replace your heads when you’re on a tour. Something about exposing the drums to different climates on a daily basis really ages the heads. I find I can’t go much more than 3-4 shows without changing them! When I’m back in town however I try to keep it down to every month or so if I need them sounding top notch.
The heads expand when they get hotter and contract when they get cooler. This stretching back and forth fatigues the material in the heads, making them get out of tune and aging faster.
Ehh that might be too long but like Jared said, there's plenty of factors to when you should change your heads. I haven't changed my drum heads since March or so of this year and I'm gonna probably replace them next month.
I’m a beginner drummer , and I’m loving it , should have started 20 yrs ago instead of playing leaf guitar , bro your instructional video is awesome , thank you so much , changed my 1st set of batters , thumbs up !
I decided to re-tune my snare and did exactly what you did. Tune it tight and work my way down. Thanks for your advice. I change my drumheads when I decide to record new songs along with my band or by myself. In other cases, I change them every 3-4 months.
I play drums in church, so I like to change the heads once a year and depending on the sound I want for that year I’ll try different coatings. With the exception of the snare, I like to keep it the same.
The editor had some fun with this one, thanks, well done :) Enjoyed it a lot, even though I do know how to change drumheads. Drumeo is doing things wonderfully
I stored my drums in my storage room for 10 years and never replaced the drumheads, now at 2020 i unstored the drums and began playing on it again with the same untuned drumheads, surprisingly it still sounds playable hehe =/
Likes your drumhead change tutorial I am just starting to play again I am 63 but played on my brother's drum set at age 10-13 then 18-24 then gave up! now trying again!
It depends on the amount of shows and rehearsals that I do with my band . If I do shows and rehearsals massively then I usually change heads technically every six months on my Pearl Reference 14x6.5 20 ply snare .... Likewise , I had used EVANS HD DRY before and after six months of heavy playing, when I changed that to EVANS HEAVYWEIGHT, it actually made me feel that I have chosen the best head ever but would love to try hydraulic blue too... THANKS JARED for such an informative video anyways ... Cheers
I definitely need to change my head. It's been on since the year dot. I suspect there's a technical difficulty, though, as soon as my brain is detached... ... on a serious note, though, I just got a snare drum and stand to use as an atabal with my Basque txistu, and it has a small split in the resonant head, which is why I'm here, to see whether replacement or Teflon tape is the better option. I'm entirely new to drums.
Hi guys, great job as usual! I am a guitarist who follow your channel, because I like to learn different perspectives from other instruments. How about inviting Chris Whitten for a lesson?
Mashalla thank you brother! Got a 2nd had snare and one of the bolts gradually dislodged while I was out marching so the nuts are all inside now.... Adding nicely to the snare effect no doubt, but the wire clip is not anchored!!😅
i played for like 5 years only like in the past 2 years have i been playing more then 7 hours a week and my snare batter head finally broke so of to fix that. also my drums sound fine even after 5 years and know i’m wondering if i should change it all even though it sounds fine edit: i play rock and pop
I haven't changed my snare drumheads in 6 years. LOL! but my snare gets dirty becuz of my drum sticks due to practice.. But my snare drum heads also got dirtier but it also being unbreakable and strong snare heads in my opinion was Remo.
I change my tom heads probably less frequently than I should (only about once a year or less), my kick drum gets similar treatment, but my snare gets new heads every couple of months because that's about how often they tend to break.
I just picked up a set of drums for my six-year-old because he is showing interest in playing. I am a guitarist, but I’ve always kind of dabbled around the drums. Never had to actually change a drumhead, but I’m looking forward to doing it for the first time lol.
Guilty! Like a lot of comments stated, i waited a long time and to say the least the sound was getting boring no matter what I did. Thank you for this tutorial it was a great reminder from an experienced drummer. Thank you!😅
I'm a terrible drummer. No matter how frequently I change my heads, I'm never satisfied with how they sound. Roland aleviates that pain, except that I can't afford the latest and greatest.
This is the first time I’ve ever paid for head! I’m a mechanical engineer by trade so I was looking for torque specs in inch pounds to tighten up my new snare head. First head ever replaced. If you had a data sheet that would be great. But thanks for the video. I did learn something! What I found out from your video is you have no more knowledge than I do when replacing parts. So good job! But to who???
Do you think it would be a good idea to wait for my batter head to come in the mail? I just bought a brand new (snare-side) resonance head. I already took both heads completely off. I mine as well wait. Right?
I have not changed my resonance head for 10 years. So, I'm hoping to get a cleaner-sounding snare sound. I think I should tune my head to a pitch this time.
You are a great teacher! I so appreciate your tutorial video. I'm a mom drummer, and I haven't changed drum batter heads in forever, but my teen is starting to play my drum set and I want them to sound better. Thank you for your wonderful instructions!
Hey Drumeo team, something I always wondered. When the time comes that you need to change both heads, resonance and batter. How would you proceed for the tuning starting with both fresh heads at the same time ? Cause sometimes I get confused that I won't find the right tuning with the wrong resonance or on the other side, won't find the right resonance if I get the wrong tuning for me. Thanks, Anthony.
I play drums 10 h. x week and change my heads every 2 years
Nice
i change them only when it is destroyed
Just changed my 1st set of heads on my toms.picked up my 1st drum set used on marketplace a few weeks back.enjoying learning very much.

it's been over 4 years for me, plus however long before that (i bought a used snare). my head just arrived and imma set that up asap
I have a floor tom with a 13 years old drumhead hahaha it's a remo black dot. I'm still using it and rock it :)
I came here to find out how to change heads and the detail I needed wasn’t shown at all. The removal detail was shot from above and the reattachment was on time lapse. I need these minutes back.
Just replaced the heads on my dads 1970’s drum kit with 20 YO heads wow it brought life back into the Toms!
No offense, I love your videos,

I had a drum head on my floor tom that's didn't dent for a year and a half of hard playing!
I've never had my batter heads dent. I just never play hard enough to even do that.
When he says *change the heads* I was like "do you mean _tune_ the heads?" you couldn't srsly be saying buy a new head every 90 days - thats how I interpreted it
Thank you!
What's the name of the tool and where do I get it to .
The last time I changed my drumeheads was 6 years ago but now they are fine. I think that this is due to the fact that I play the dums 2 hours a week. Do I really have to replace them or, since there condition is still good, not?
My dad has this old drumkit from the 80s and the heads have never been changed...
Bro can use Evans snare head for Havana drum kits
Was the new head the HD Dry?
I just change my 10inch tom drumheads from evans and its sound good.
i play drums for 15 years , i havent swapped resos or batters ever , unless they break from my manliness .
UGA UGA BUGA DA
Lol, Play my batter Almosen Twitter years and they still sound Great
This is the first time in five years my dad has changed his drum head well I changed it for him he gave the drumset to me
Nice
my kit hasn't been changed in any way for the last 20 years. I am not joking. still had the original heads, barely holding on

Rob is awesome, plus he's Canadian so he gets extra points! :-)
What a man, Rob.
hope to see him on drumeo soon
Damn anyone know what crash that is??
I change my drum heads about every 20 years
2:23 WAIT... NOT IN 6 POINTED STAR FASHION? GOING FROM ONE POINT TO THE OPPOSITE??? Won't that unevenly stress/damage the head?
4:43 But then he tightens it that way... hmmm
I’m noticing that too and its bugging me. I dont think this guy has ever changed a tire on a car.
Nothing like a fresh set of heads? Should get out more.
Resonant drum heads never :D and top heads once a year :)
That long. That´s how long it is.
Right now it's terrible for me. Tuning man...PTSD is real
Am I the only one who sees nick swardson?
Just BTW the pushing down on the head ISN'T to stretch it, it's called "seating" the head and it makes sure the head is aligned on the drum and there isn't any slack on the outside. Great video otherwise.
I can't do that because i scare. I feel like its gona get cracked :D
😂. This is hilarious. All to make affiliate money.
I changed my drumheads 110 years ago. I recommend to change them every 100-120 years
I am SO with you on the logo alignment! It drives me crazy when the logo on the drumhead isn't in a specific place...
Same idk what it is but it needs to be in that spot 😂
I literally have the same resonant heads on a kit that I bought in 1999...
my reso snare head broke the other day after 3 years :(
My resonant head is the one that came with the kit back in the 1980s....

Remember Jared, that God loves you. 🙂
Hi guys, great job as usual! I am a guitarist who follow your channel, because I like to learn different perspectives from other instruments. How about inviting Chris Whitten for a lesson?
I mistakenly bought a 15” drum head instead of 14”.. can i make it fit?
is there anybody in the history of humanity that changes their heads every 90 days!?
Great video. Good humor too!
my brushes just get caught on the snares theres like ripples in it i got it used, trying to learn this stuff as i go
Mashalla thank you brother! Got a 2nd had snare and one of the bolts gradually dislodged while I was out marching so the nuts are all inside now.... Adding nicely to the snare effect no doubt, but the wire clip is not anchored!!😅
Not often. They were storage for several since I was living in Hawaii.
every time i see jared, i see bennett james
