DRUM HEADS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the global market can be categorized into Batter Head & Resonant Head.

• Batter Head: The heads explain, in most cases, the tonal quality, attack, and overall sound of the drum. Batter heads are available in single-ply and double-ply configurations with different coatings and materials that affect their durability and sound characteristics. Most of the time, drummers will select batter heads according to the type of music being played, some of which provide a harder hitting attack for rock or metal, while others produce softer tones for jazz or acoustic settings. This group contains extremely heterogeneous markets: professional musicians and hobbyists.

• Resonant Head: Although not struck, the resonant heads contribute the most to a drum's sound in terms of sustain, resonance, and overall tonal character. These heads are normally thinner heads and can either be clear or coated, depending on the kind of sound that one wants to get. The resonant heads control the drum's overtones and are essential for getting a balanced and harmonious sound in studio and live performances. Resonant head selection could be more importantly, make or break the drum's projection and clarity; hence, it is something that really matters to a drummer in the pursuit to fine-tune his sound.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Online Sales, & Offline Sales

• Online Sales:  This segment of the drum heads market has been gaining fast recently due to the convenience and ease of access that this channel provides to consumers. E-commerce platforms, specialty music stores, and brand-specific websites allow drummers to browse through a large variety of drumheads, compare their prices, read reviews, and order them without leaving their homes. This segment benefits from the rising popularity of online shopping among younger demographics and those located in areas with poor access to physical music stores.

This channel will remain very important to drummers who want to play the drum heads themselves before purchasing them, in order to check for sound quality, feel, and instrument compatibility. Offline sales are especially good in areas with large numbers of musicians and where there is live music and studio work. In addition to that, advice from experts in-store, in-store trying out of the different heads appeals across the board to both amateur and professional drummers. Although online sales are definitely on the rise, the offline segment has still got a strong hold due to the fact that hands-on experience is possible in stores, which is really essential for most musicians while selecting a drum head.

DRIVING FACTORS

Increasing Popularity of Drumming as a Hobby and Profession to Boost the Market

The popularity of drumming, as a hobby or professional work, serves as a major booster in the market for drum heads.
