Hi, and thanks in advance for any advice given.
I am receiving the limited edition Pearl Rythm Traveler Pod kit tomorrow. It has 8, 10 and 12 concert toms.
I know from reading through several posts on heads for concert toms that Remo Emporors, Evans Hydraulics and Aquarian Studio-X Coated have been recomended as good heads for concert toms. I've listened to Bobdadruma's sound files with his Aquarian Studio-X's and those heads do seem to give a nice, warm tone that would be useful in a blues/jazz/traditional R&B/Classic rock setting. I'd like to know if anyone thinks the Remo Fiberskyn's would be useful for achieving that same sort of tone.
Also, I would like to get a more modern tone for Praise and Worship music, and am thinking clear 2-ply's would be the way to go. I specifically don't want the dead, lack of sustain tone of the 70's, even though I was raised on that music and tone and love the sound of Peter Criss, Phil Collins, Carl Palmer, Gil Moore, Neal Peart, Bill Bruford etc. from that era. I'm just looking for a modern sound for this particular set.
Bermuda, I've noticed you mention that with the advancements in drum head manufacturing of the last 30 years one can get a nice, warm sustain out of a concert tom, and I've noticed you have Evans clear heads in the pics of your Ludwig and Slingerland concert tome sets. Would you mind telling me which heads you use for your concert toms?
Again, thanks in advance for any advice,
Kevin
