I have been using this head on my Ludwig Super Classic bass drum for more than a decade, and it has that perfectly balanced tone, between thump and click, projecting a true wall of pure bass sound! If you're a drummer, you know what I meen. This is the first time I change it in a decade, so one can say it is very durable! I have tried other bass heads on other bass drums, but this is The One. And the price is right! ;)
