Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
After popularizing the double-layer mesh head on V-Drums, Roland extends the concept with the PowerPly series, manufactured by REMO Inc, to maintain the look and feel of an acoustic drum while drastically reducing volume.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
For beginner to advanced drummers who want to practice silently, record in a home studio, or create a hybrid setup (acoustic plus sound triggering) without changing their shells.
Features and Innovations
The double-layer construction provides better stability: in an internal Roland test, the snare required less retensioning than a single layer, and the bass drum head showed a doubled lifespan compared to some single-layer heads.
Sound
Acoustically, the sound is greatly attenuated to limit noise pollution. With RT-30 triggers and a V-Drums module, you get a palette of sounds, playing dynamics, and expressiveness close to an electronic set, while retaining the feel of an acoustic shell.
