Hey everyone. I'm pretty new to playing the drums, I picked it up on a whim because I had always wanted to and I love it! I do however know next to nothing about drum heads, and mine definitely need replacing. I do know a little, like the main companies are evans, remo, and aquarian, and that heads usually are one or two ply and clear or coated. But unfortunately i have no clue on how to apply this to buying drum heads. So basically I have two questions:
1. What heads would recommend I get for my set? ( I have a pdp fs drum set, which is made of birch wood I believe. I have "fusion" sized, 14 snare, 10, 12, 14 toms and I think a 22 bass drum all birch. I play kind of alternative rock and some blues stuff. I know that I like the look of coated heads a lot more, but I also know that looks are not the most important thing.)
2. What does the terminology for a lot of the heads mean? (like what does hazy mean and when people say they sound "warm" or "bright" and "clear" what exactly does that mean?)
Again thanks for taking the time to answer probably a pretty stupid question, no one in my family has ever played a musical instrument so I am kind of just on my own. Thanks y'all!
