Okay, I took the plunge and bought an Evans 300 snare side head. Never tried those before. I'm not hearing a whole lot of difference if any. Oh, well at least I have good heads everywhere, haha.
Side rant: I bought an Evans 'cause they are so much less expensive than Remo, it's crazy. The Evans cost me $13.99 and the Remo was $21.99! I would probably use Remo if there wasn't such a big price difference. But bloody hell, that difference adds up fast if you're getting several heads. I got it at a local store very near my house that sells books, CD's and musical instruments (Archambault) and their prices are probably higher than the music stores in town but the gas I would burn would make the difference in savings nil. So bottom line is if I don't have a reason to go to those stores I'm buying Evans locally. Remo too $$$.
