So I need to get a nice snare head for brushes, and I haven't played any mentioned in the thread title so I needed some help from those who have used them.
I want something that like I said, works very well with brushes. Also a long sustain, a fair bit of volume (it has to be heard with amplified acoustic guitars), and a mid to high range tone. Obviously a nice distinctive, textured, sound when circling the drum, and a nice soft crack when hit on the rim near the lower part of the brush. Also, although I'd like it to work in a jazz setting, this head will mostly be used in a light/oldies rock situation, where I need to keep the volume down.
I only listed the ones that I know about in the thread title, the remo renaissance, skyntone, fiberskyn 3, and the evans j1. Recommendations of these or other options are appreciated!
