Ok, I've heard that Remo Ambassadors or the Evans G1 drumheads make perfect resonant side drumheads for toms but which would you say is the perfect resonant side (snare side) drumhead for a snare drum?
Really? You can hear a difference? I've always wondered why hazy gets advertized. I haven't been terribly picky about snare sides over the years. I just default to an Ambassador. However, I did not like the stock Ludwig that came with my LM402. It was sensitive but made the drum feel dry and choked. I couldn't get an open sound so I put an Ambassador on there (batter too) and it's been a treat ever since.I just prefer the sound of clear film on the snare side, as opposed to hazy film.

Hey, that's cool! I've never heard of those before. I might need to try them. I got S-Hoops top and bottom for both my snares but the bottom doesn't work that great with standard snare side heads with collars because as it pulls down tight, the inside lip of the S-Hoop starts to mash into the head - not good! But I think these collar-less jobs might be just the thing!I use a No-Collar Amb (SA-0314-TD), which is a clear film.
I really like the Aquarian Hi Performance and the Ludwig snare side. Clean, bright, and open, with great sensitivity.

I know it's dumb, but I've never been thrilled with the hazy look that clear Ambassadors have - especially for a kick reso (I like clear reso on the kick a la Simon Phillips).
