All info about the HEDge here.

Synthetic heads are characterised by high tuning stability even under extreme climatic conditions.

Every HEDge comes with a HEDge Universal REMO Skyntone® Drumhead. These were taped by Christian Hedwitschak with a special technique and produce an individual, balanced sound. This results in a full tone, excellent bass, crisp highs and a fast response. Perfect for sessions and amplified performances.

Now we are offering this skin for sale individually.

Preparation for all drum heads

All drumheads for HEDge and Rebellion bodhráns are carefully and thoroughly prepared by Christian Hedwitschak before they leave the workshop—whether they are played with tape or without.

This preparation involves several steps. First, the head is pre-broken in, allowing it to settle more quickly and respond in a controlled way right from the start. The surface is then carefully sanded to achieve the desired response and tonal character. For models that require it, tape is applied afterwards to help control overtones.

This detailed preparation ensures that the heads are ready to play from the very beginning, offering a consistent response and the sound and playing feel that HEDge and Rebellion bodhráns are known for.

Available heads

The following drumheads are available in our shop for HEDge and Rebellion drums. Both types are also offered without tape, allowing players to experiment and shape the sound of their drum according to their own preferences.

Our popular standard skin

HEDge Universal REMO Skyntone®

Our standard HEDge drum skin is a modified REMO Skyntone®, because this drum skin comes as closest as possible to the qualities of a natural drum skin in the bodhran area.

The sound character is warm, present, defined with moderate attack, which makes the overall sound subtle.

The appearance is very reminiscent of a natural drumhead.

The special taping technique and surface treatment are crucial factors for the balanced sound and natural feel.

Dermot Sheedy signature

HEDge REMO Fiberskyn 3® DSS

Dermot Sheedy has been playing the HEDge since it became available. Drawing on his extensive stage experience, he developed this signature drumhead together with Christian Hedwitschak.

"While the Skyntone is a solid head, I’ve found that the Ambassador Fiberskyn fits my playing style much better. The overtones are slightly more controlled, which is exactly what I look for in a synthetic head. The attack is significantly better. It’s also noticeably more durable—a huge plus for those moments on stage where I need to dig in and play with a bit more power.

I think the Fiberskyn is the ideal gigging drumhead, it's suited to someone looking for a bit more "meat" on the bone for high energy live performances."
