Meinl HEAD-79 6 inch Mesh Head For Tamborim

Meinl HEAD-79 6″ Mesh Head for Tamborim is a practical and innovative replacement head designed for low-volume practice. Ideal for drummers and percussionists who want to maintain authentic playing feel while keeping noise levels minimal, this mesh head is an excellent addition to any practice setup.

Materials and Build Quality

Constructed from a single-ply synthetic Mylar base with a fine mesh overlay, the HEAD-79 offers durability alongside a responsive surface.
