Hey guys, Just recently got a premier artist maple kit. I have the stock "EVERREADY" heads on it, does anyone have any experience with there heads?
I'm having trouble tuning my snare, i tuned the toms grand but the snare isnt working out. When i hit it in the center there is no resonance at all, only some at the outsides of the drum. I have tried different tensions in the heads to no avail. When i muffle the batter head and play the resonant with a stick there is little to no tone at all coming from it.

Should i try new heads or am i missing something silly here

Thanks
Niall

Read that first, and if you still have problems, ask for more help.
