This particular head is a Power head, made by Schlebach in Basel, Switzerland. They're pricey, but last for a really long time. The previous batter head I took off was on there for two and a half years. They are a polyester weave. A gentleman named Lee Caron in Boston is also now importing Swiss Kevlar heads for sale as well. We are currently building a new press, which is why there is not yet a second video. Hopefully both the press and the video will be done soon. Thanks for the comments!
Yes, there are snare beds. The beds on the Cooperman drums we have are pretty shallow and narrow. Not sure, but I think they cut them in by hand with a file.
Thanks! It is about time that somebody made a video to explain this. I've got a rope drum that I want to change heads on but I didn't want to take it apart for fear I would never get it back together correctly. Is there a brand name for that pre-tensioned drum head? What kind of press do you use to finish tuning?
Does anyone know what exact type of head that is? I cant seem to find it online. I am looking into getting a few but it would help to know exactly what brand and type it is. Thanks!
J.P Tomba See my comment from a few years ago below. This particular batter head is called a Power head, made by Schlebach Trommelbau in Basel, Switzerland. After using this and a few other heads, wee have switched to a Remo Kevlar batter head, sold through Cooperman.
Excellent video. Not many videos for first time rope drummers. So thankyou

Where did you get the drum press from? Can you get the snares to playing tension without a press, how?
thats awesome!, is there a snare bed?

Is there still going to be a second video? Where can I get more information about drum maintenance?
