How to choose
Match the mesh head size to the drum or pad it is replacing, and check tension adjustability if you want a firmer feel.
Beginner
A Dixon mesh head in a small size like 10 or 12 inch is a good way to convert a practice pad to a quieter, more realistic feel. Tension it evenly around the rim so the bounce feels the same across the whole head.
Intermediate
Players building a quiet practice kit often fit Dixon mesh heads across several drum sizes to keep noise down at home. Adjust tension to taste, since a tighter mesh head gives more stick rebound closer to an acoustic drum.
Expert
Experienced players maintaining an electronic kit often keep an Alesis replacement mesh head on hand in case a pad's head wears out or tears. Replace mesh heads before they fray badly, since a torn head changes both feel and trigger sensitivity on electronic pads.

About Mesh Heads
A mesh head is a woven playing surface that feels closer to a real drum than a rubber pad but plays much quieter, making it popular for practice kits and electronic drum conversions.
This page has mesh heads from Dixon across a range of sizes plus an Alesis replacement mesh head for electronic pads.
