Introduced in 1968, CONTROLLED SOUND® heads are single-ply Ambassador®-weight heads with a 5 mm thick black or clear dot in the center of the head. This combination offers a controlled, centered sound without undesirable overtones.
These dual-zone heads have a combination of medium and heavy-duty drumhead characteristics. The outer area of the head’s playing surface offers a midrange tone and sensitivity while the laminated center dot eliminates high-frequency overtones and adds durability and tonal focus to meet the demands of heavier hitters.
