Remo Controlled Sound Coated Black Dot Drumhead – Bottom Black Dot, 14"
Give your snare drum a powerful combination of focused tone, excellent response and added durability with the Remo Controlled Sound Coated Black Dot 14" Drumhead. Designed for drummers who want the warmth and feel of a traditional coated single-ply head with additional control where the drum is struck most often, this popular Controlled Sound head is a proven choice for live performance, studio recording, rehearsal and everyday playing.
The head features a 1-ply 10-mil coated film with a 5-mil Black Dot reinforcement on the underside. The coated playing surface delivers a warm, responsive character with strong midrange presence, while the bottom-mounted Black Dot reinforces the centre of the head without placing the dot directly under your sticks.
The result is a versatile snare drumhead with focused midrange tones, controlled overtones and enhanced durability. The outer area of the head remains responsive and expressive, allowing plenty of sensitivity for ghost notes, rolls and dynamic playing, while the reinforced centre provides greater control and strength for harder hits, rimshots and powerful backbeats.
The Controlled Sound design is particularly well suited to drummers looking for a balance between the open character of a single-ply head and the additional focus and durability provided by the centre dot. It is a great all-round option for rock, pop, funk, blues, gospel, country and many other styles.

Why Choose the Remo Controlled Sound?
If you want a snare head that sits between a wide-open single-ply sound and a heavily controlled multi-ply design, the Remo Controlled Sound Coated Black Dot is a seriously good option. The single-ply construction keeps the head lively and responsive, while the underside Black Dot adds useful durability and tonal focus.
It is a particularly strong choice for drummers who want warmth and sensitivity around the edge with a punchier, more controlled sound in the centre.
