Remo ARTBEAT Artist Collection – Aric Improta “Dilate” 14″ Snare Batter

Add visual flair and reliable performance to your snare drum with this high-quality graphic batter head.

Overview
The 14″ drumhead in Remo’s ARTBEAT Artist Collection features artwork by Aric Improta (design: “Dilate”). This batter head combines aesthetics and function, offering balanced tone while embedding the graphic within the membrane via Skyndeep technology.

Design & tonal character

Constructed from a single ply (1-ply) Skyndeep white suede film, this head includes a clear reverse dot on the underside to enhance overtone control and durability. The embedded graphic is achieved through Remo’s Skyndeep ink process, meaning the design is an integral part of the film, not just printed on top.

Use cases & benefits

Ideal as a batter head for snare drums when you want both visual character and dependable performance. Well suited for genres where snap and control matter — rock, fusion, pop, or stage shows. The reverse dot helps reduce excessive overtones without muffling the sound.
