Roland MH2-13 PowerPly Dual-Ply Mesh Drumhead - 13 Inches

Roland MH2-13 PowerPly Dual-Ply Mesh Drumhead - 13 Inches

Roland's dual-ply mesh heads for V-Drums revolutionized the playability of electronic drums thanks to their adjustable tension, durability, and natural playing feel. The MH2-13 PowerPly takes this innovation further as part of the PowerPly series—premium mesh heads produced by REMO Inc. that let you retrofit your acoustic drums for quiet practice or use as replacement heads for Roland V-Drums pads.

Key Features

Highly Durable Dual-Ply Construction: The PowerPly MH2-13 features a robust dual-ply mesh design that delivers exceptional durability and longevity. Roland's bass drum dual-ply mesh heads last twice as long as single-ply mesh heads from other brands, allowing you to play hard without frequent replacements.

Ultra-Quiet Performance: Perfect for home practice, apartment living, or any noise-sensitive environment. The mesh construction significantly reduces volume while maintaining an authentic playing feel, so you can practice at any time without disturbing neighbors or family members.

Consistent Tension & Minimal Retuning: Unlike single-ply mesh heads from other brands that may need re-tightening and adjustment after a few days of playing, Roland's PowerPly mesh heads retain their tension and don't require constant retuning. This means you can practice for longer sessions with consistent rebound and response.

Compatible with Roland RT-30 Acoustic Drum Triggers: When paired with Roland's RT-30 series Acoustic Drum Triggers, PowerPly mesh heads can trigger a V-Drums module, enabling you to practice and experiment with various sounds while maintaining the looks and feel of your acoustic drum kit. Head tension is optimized for accurate sensing and tracking of your drumming.

Versatile Replacement Head: Also serves as a replacement mesh head for V-Drums V-Pads (all models except the PDX-8 and PDX-6), making it perfect for refreshing your electronic drum kit or replacing worn heads on Roland V-Drums pads.

Superior Performance Benefits

Enhanced Trigger Response: The dual-ply design and consistent tension provide more accurate trigger response compared to single-ply alternatives, ensuring your drumming is tracked precisely when used with electronic drum modules.

Natural Playing Feel: Adjustable tension allows you to customize the feel and rebound to match your playing style, delivering an authentic drumming experience whether you're practicing quietly or performing live.

Professional Quality: Produced by REMO Inc. to Roland's exacting specifications, these mesh heads meet the standards of professional drummers and are built to withstand intensive playing sessions.

Perfect 13-Inch Size

The 13-inch diameter makes the MH2-13 an ideal choice for snare drums and rack toms in most drum kit configurations. This popular size is commonly found on professional drum kits and provides excellent playability and tone characteristics when used with acoustic triggers or as a V-Drums replacement head.

Ideal Applications

• Silent practice for acoustic drum kits
• Hybrid drum setups combining acoustic and electronic sounds
• Replacement heads for Roland V-Drums electronic kits
• Home studios and practice rooms
• Apartment and noise-restricted environments
• Recording studios requiring quiet drum practice
• Educational institutions and drum schools
• 13-inch snare drums and rack toms

Technical Specifications

Proven Durability Through Roland Testing

Snare Drum Testing: After several days of intensive drumming, the tension rods of single-ply mesh heads from other brands required tightening by a full turn, while Roland's dual-ply PowerPly mesh heads retained most of their original tension, demonstrating superior stability and consistency.

Bass Drum Testing: Using a kick pedal to strike the mesh heads until failure, Roland's dual-ply mesh heads lasted twice as long as single-ply mesh heads from other brands, proving exceptional durability for demanding players.

Complete PowerPly Series Range

The Roland PowerPly series offers nine different sizes to accommodate various drum configurations: six sizes for snares and toms (8", 10", 12", 13", 14", and 16") and three sizes for bass drums (18", 20", and 22"), allowing you to outfit your entire drum kit with premium mesh heads.
