Hey guys, my Emps have taken quite a beating so I'm planning on changing my batters in a month or two. I used to have pinstripes and loved them but I wanted a more open sound so I switched to the emps after my Pinstripes' time was up. But man, I greatly love the focused attack and warmer low end of them but they just don't cut through that well when I play with my band unmiked. So I was wondering, would amassador X's (since they resonate more due to their thickness) give me the sound I'm looking for? It seems like it would work well, especially since I dig the sound of clear over coated but I could be completely backwards on this. I know tuning the resos the same or lower than the batter will give more sustain, but because of where I like to tune my batters, the resonant heads vibrate too slowly and sound like paper.
And please don't mention Evans EC2 SST's or Aquarian Performance II's because for some reason, I just don't really like them as much lol
