Pearl Mesh Drum Heads

I installed the mesh Pearl heads on my Alesis DM8 kit to make it quieter. I don't use the module since it's just a practice kit for me. I wanted to get these to make it quieter.
One of the things I've noticed already is that I'm not playing nearly as heavy-handed since it doesn't make any difference in how the mesh heads sound.

Update: These heads are still going strong after several years. The 12-inch mesh heads both developed holes from the head making contact with the bottom of the drum. The drums are pretty shallow, and the 12" heads are gonna flex more than the 8" or 10" will simply because they're larger. I purchased the Remo Silent Stroke mesh heads this time (because they were cheaper). They respond just as well, but I also used a saw to cut the bottom out of the 12" drums to prevent the hole from developing again. I expect to use these for several more years, great investment for a kit to just bang around on.
