The difference between the Regular powerstroke 4 coated head and this one, is that this head is a little more solid in the centre with a slight less ring to it.
Most double ply and thick snare heads look tacky and can take the class out of any snare drum, but this head still looks clean, its not too busy, and it feels great to play, very dry, and will phatten up any snare.
I would consider it a rival to the Evans Genre dry.
