Dry but full sound
Tried this as a change to the Remo Controlled Sound clear dot that I usually use, in a search for less overtones and a drier tone with my rather ringy DW Design BNOB snare.
The Powerstroke 3 certainly delivers a drier sound, very controlled, but still with a good crack. I favour low to medium tunings, and the sound and feel is good. However, if you like a ringy tone, this may not be the best head for you.
So far, I would say that it is somewhat more hardwearing than the Remo CS, and will take a lot of abuse.
Overall I like it, but for some musical styles I would prefer a more open tone.

Depends on what you like - Less overtones or more
When I bought the Remo Powerstroke 3, I was looking for something with a little less overtone for my steel Pearl snare drum. When I first tried this head I thought maybe not enough overtones from the drum. Fortunately for me, I run a open jam session every week and I get to hear other drummers play my kit from the audiences point of view. Very nice sharp crack to the drum. My only problem with the head is that it will sound great in one room and not so great in the next room without retuning, so from gig to gig I am doing a lot of retuning to get the drum to fit the room.

Nice head.
I really like this head and bought it based on Youtube demos. But to be honest, once I tried on the Evans coated G2's, there was no going back!
