Carter McLean with Bovid Snare Heads Top & Bottom
Acclaimed drummer Carter McLean, known for his work on Broadway's Lion King and with guitar player Charlie Hunter, demonstrates Bovid Percussion heads on his vintage nickel over brass Ludwig & Ludwig Pioneer snare drum.
The top head used is a now discontinued mule hide head, while the bottom is a thin camel snare-side head. Together, they produce a tone perfect for general drum set or orchestral use.
Tim Baltes with a Furry Goat Resonant Kick Head
Tim Baltes is known as a commercial recording artist for companies like Warner Records Canada, 21st Century Fox, and Disney. In this video, you'll see and hear a gorgeous Bovid 20" furry goat head on the front of Tim's Ludwig Classic Maple kit.
Despite the lack of a port, this resonant head still provides plenty of punch to cut through any mix. And visually, it makes Tim's drums pop too!
