Someone had to say it. Do you prefer Evans or Remo, and why?
I've gone back and forth, since these are the two brands my local GC actually carries a decent variety of. I guess I like the sound of Remo heads better...but the quality is sketchy. Evans heads don't seem to have the same big, full sound and attack - something always seems missing from the tone. They feel nice and soft under the sticks...but the sound is inferior to my ears. It's been a while, maybe I just need to give them another listen.
Remo...well...they seem to improve and then regress. The coating seemed to have stopped chipping off right away for me, over the last year. However, I just bought a new batch of snare heads and the coating rubbed right off of them, almost immediately.
Remo's poor QC has me thinking about other brands, again. Maybe Aquarian?
Any thoughts on ease of tuning between brands?
For a fatter, rounder sound with plenty of sustain for fusion and the like, your power toms would work great with the EC2's...
I play them, and they kill! Broad tuning range too unlike heads like the pinstripe and powerstrokes that choke up high.
