A warmth, sensitivity, and articulation reminiscent of calfskin all characterize Renaissance heads. These heads have a very warm and tonal sound that's great for melodic expression and affords a wider, more balanced sound spectrum for tympani, snares, toms, and bass drums in any drumming application. For snare drums and timbales, the textured surface provides excellent stick and brush response that will not degrade under harsh playing. For toms, Renaissance combines the warmth and depth of laminated heads, the clarity and response of coated heads, with the resonance and projection of clear heads.
