This must look like a real drumhead.
 
I’ve made mine just out of a piece of hard cloth (not sure, what it is – a kind of denim anyway). without useing starch – and it works fine, and it stands hard beats.
 
but the thing is, that mesh heads are designed to be as silent as possible, so u caould train at home without bothering ur neighbours. and my cloth-head makes some “boom-boom” sounds…
 
i wonder, if starching will make them less noisy. in fact, i’m not sure it will. did anyone try it?
 
if they are not silent as mesh heads, they are not a replacement… if starch-heads make sound, why not heavy-nanded drummes just use regulat plastic drumheads?
