Key Information About the SIGNAL Drumhead
- 14 mil single-ply construction in high-strength PET for remarkable durability without sacrificing sensitivity.
- Grip-Tight Technology offering a rare balance between depth, projection, and attack.
- Versatile: withstands heavy strikes while remaining responsive to brushes for jazz.
- Available in packs Fusion, Rock, and Standard, with a free 14'' DNA + Coated included.
Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The SIGNAL series belongs to the "thick single-ply" family, positioned between 10 mil heads oriented towards sensitivity and double-ply heads designed for maximum durability. It targets drummers seeking the open feel of a single ply, with robustness and durability close to a heavier setup.
Who This Drumhead Is For
Ideal for
intermediate to expert drummers who demand precise touch and dynamic response. It excels in
rock, pop, fusion, metal thanks to its projection, and remains nuanced enough for
jazz and acoustic settings when played with brushes.
Features and Innovations
The unique
14 mil ply made from
polyethylene terephthalate provides superior resistance compared to a standard head. The
Grip-Tight technology optimizes contact and stability, promoting better energy transfer and consistent tuning over time. Compared to a classic 10 mil head, SIGNAL offers a firmer attack, slower wear, and increased tolerance to rimshots and powerful patterns.
Sound
Thanks to its thickness, SIGNAL produces a
clear attack with
solid projection, ideal for cutting through the mix without excessive unwanted harmonics. The sustain remains
controlled while maintaining good depth on toms and snare. When played with brushes, the surface reacts finely, offering a clear texture and precise articulation, ensuring expressiveness in more subtle passages.
