-----------------------------------------

1. drum-tec real feel (3 ply)

Rebound: 7/10
Noise: 6/10
Hot Spotting: 8/10
Quality: 9/10

The rebound is very good, especially when tensioned tighter. It is noisy in comparison to other mesh heads. It reduces hot spotting when tuned tight.
The quality is good, but not perfect, as there are sometimes treads at the hoop.

2. drum-tec Design Series (2 ply)

Rebound: 6/10
Noise: 7/10
Hot Spotting: 7/10
Quality: 9/10

The rebound is better than the Roland Powerply and Roland MH Series rebound. Therefore it is slightly noisier. How spotting is more reduced than with a Roland head, as the drum-tec mesh material is not as stretchy.

3. Roland MH & PowerPly (2 ply)

Rebound: 5/10
Noise: 8/10
Hot Spotting: 6/10
Quality: 10/10

The Roland PowerPly series mesh head is exactly the same head as the known Roland MH head, except that the PowerPly is offered in more sizes.
It is not too noisy but in terms of rebound and hot spotting, not as good as the drum-tec Design Series 2 ply head.
Quality Wise, it is the best mesh head but it comes at a price. (Very expensive)

4. Jobeky Try Ply

Rebound: 5/10
Noise: 9/10
Hot Spotting: 5/10
Quality: 6/10

The Jobeky Head is quieter than the Roland mesh with a similar rebound than Roland. Hot spotting can become an issue because the material is very stretchy.
Out of the box, the head does not really have the form of a drum head, it is very short and the hoop is very small. The material is smooth and feels like cloth.

5. Drum-tec Pro (1ply)

Rebound: 9/10
Noise: 2/10
Hot Spotting: 9/10
Quality: 10/10

This mesh head is a kind of hybrid between mesh and millar head. The mesh strings are really thick and make the head very loud. It is as realistic as a real head in terms of rebound. It is not stretchy, therefore reduces hot spotting. These heads are made for sets that are placed in a garage or somewhere where noise is no issue.

6. drum-tec Basic (1 ply)

Rebound: 3/10
Noise: 7/10
Hot Spotting: 4/10
Quality: 9/10

The best “normal” one ply head on the market, not as stretchy as the Remo Silent Stroke. It is really quiet if used with the right shells. 1 ply heads cannot be tuned well, so the hot spotting and rebound is an issue.

7. Remo Silentstroke (1ply)

Rebound: 2/10
Noise: 9/10
Hot Spotting: 3/10
Quality: 10/10

This head is the 1-ply version of the Roland mesh head. It is stretchy but very quiet. The quality is outstanding. The rebound is unrealistic.

8. Millenium QuieHead (2ply)

Rebound: 3/10
Noise: 7/10
Hot Spotting: 4/10
Quality: 5/10

This is by far the cheapest mesh head on the market (14” costs 15€). The material is not white, but transparent and logo is very ugly. The head is too short, meaning it is flat and does not have the form of a drum head out of the box. The rebound is not great and it is stretchy.

9. 682 XS Pro Mesh Head (2ply)

Rebound: 2/10
Noise: 9/10
Hot Spotting: 3/10
Quality: 5/10

Cloth style head that is too bouncy and stretchy but very quiet. I would not recommend buying it. Almost every other head is better. The only good thing about it is that you cannot look through.
