just got this for free, needs new heads but i'm not sure which ones would work best if i want articulation and sensitivity.

i've heard the Evans Hazy 300 snare side is good. any other opinions for both snare side and batter?

I really miss the Melinex formula Premier used on their drum heads before they started feeding on the Remo tit. Someone should be doing it with that film in China. On tom's it was sweet and a big part of their sound if you ask me.

Might as well get another Ludwig P-85 strainer and put it on the other side too, it will help with the sensitivity, you can dial in the snares a lot better (dual strainer).
