An interesting drum head
Anonymous 21.07.2016
I love Remo products, I only use Remo drum heads for that matter. Having seen many videos on YouTube of kit tours, it was extremely common to see the CS Dot being used. From Chad Smith to Teddy Campbell, a variety of drummers vouch for this snare head. However, do not be expecting this drum head to be able to cope well with ringing or overtones. With that black dot underneath I expected the head to partially mute or control any ringing. But, unfortunately, I found that ringing was still an issue. This of course may be due to my tuning technique (we're all different and have different approaches to tuning of course). I found that using a Powerstroke 77, or strangely enough a clear CS Dot coped with muting any ringing or overtones.
With that being said, this snare head is extremely durable. I haven't had to replace it due to wear and tear since I purchased it. I can see this head being used for live work and touring. It is also rather reliable with keeping it's tuning. Some heads don't seem to be able to withstand a tuning for a majority of time, this however seems to do the job quite well.
Get this head if you do a lot of live work! But consider other options if you hate ringing snares.

Great snare head

The CS coated reverse dot is a fantastic snare head that not only gives a crack of a snare sound its sensitive and requires minimal muffling to get the sound I require.
Highly recommended

High-quality and versatile snare drum head
Anonymous 18.12.2014
I have used Remo's Controlled Sound skins on my snare drums for 8 years, and they have never let me down. Compared to Ambassadors or other single-ply heads that tend to brake under rock 'n' roll wear and tear, the black reverse dot under the skin makes the head very long-lasting. I actually have never split a CS head.

I have played a wide range of styles, from hard rock to soft pop, and the CS head has handled them all. The head delivers a very focused sound on the centre, thanks to the dot, but when you move towards the sides, the sound gets crispier and has more sustain and ringing. The head is a mixture of a single-ply and a two-ply head, so it is light enough for delicate playing, even brushes, but has enough weight to handle hard-hitting rock beats.

I mainly use 13" snare drums, and tend to tune them pretty high, as I usually play r'n'b and hip hop where snare sound is very precise with sharp attack. The dot dampens the sound a little bit, and I rarely use additional muffling in order to let the snare ring the natural way.

The Remo CS reverse dot snare drum head is a high-quality product and one of the best all-arounders on the market, so I definitely recommend this to every drummer, regardless of the style!
