balanced
What does a balanced drumhead tone mean? The sound (or tone) of a drumhead falls on a spectrum from bright, to balanced, to warm. Bright means more high-pitch frequencies, and warm is more midrange and low-pitched sounds. Balanced is right in the middle: the high and low-pitched tones are fairly even.
There are a lot of factors that affect a drumhead’s tone. The most important ones are the drumhead’s thickness, its coating, and dampening: Thicker heads, coated heads, and heads with more dampening will generally sound warmer, and the warmth increases as these features are combined. Conversely, thinner heads, clear heads, and heads with no dampening will sound brighter.
Balanced sounding drumheads are good general-purpose heads: they can fit into most musical situations. Warm heads can sound great, but might be hard to hear in high-volume live situations. Conversely, bright drumheads can stand out more among other instruments, but might be too harsh-sounding for low-volume music.
