However the Diplomats are more one-dimensional than this head. I use those mainly for jazz and very light work. This 3-mil head works with everything from rock to ... well, everything.

The collars always seat perfectly, and the only time I have ever experienced any wrinkling is when using them on snare drums with very narrow and deep snare beds like those on vintage Gretsch snares. For just about every other drum these seat perfectly and allow quick, even tuning.

Bottom line: if you are using generic snare-side heads that usually ship with snare drums, consider replacing with this model. There is a difference, and this is one of the most popular general purpose snare side heads, making it a safe bet.
