The VTC-K American Vintage Bass Drumhead is a 10mil, medium-weight drumhead that features a special coating that has a look, the feel, and the warm sound of a calfskin head. The vertical felt strip adhered to the backside of this kick head adds that Swing Era look and "Old School" resonant control to the Bass Drum. No extra muffling required. Works well as either a batter or resonant head.
