Hey,
I'm looking for a different set of heads to put on my Gretsch Catalina Club kit. I've got Remo Ambassadors/Emperors on my toms with a Powerstroke III on my snare, and a Superkick II on my bass drum.
I'm happy with my bass drum sound, it's my toms and snare I'm not so happy about. My snare coating is flaking off after only a few hours of playing in quite a bad way (I know it's supposed to but not this bad, and not after so little playing). My 18x16 tom seems very dead whatever the tuning as well, I'm not sure if that's me or the drum but it just doesn't seem to have a nice feel to play either. It's very... flappy, even though it's tuned as high as it can be (my 16x16 floor tom is pretty low but that's the sweet spot for that drum).
I'd like to try Evans or Aquarian, I'm not so happy with Remo. I play mainly rock, so any suggestions are welcomed for what you think is good.
Thanks.
