Another vote for the Evans Power Center Reverse Dot.
I just spent a few hours messing around with some of my snares. I was into the Genera Dry heads for a while. I think they'd be great in the studio or even mic'ed, but the fall a little short in the volume department for playing live.
I fooled around with an Evans EC2 power dot snare batter, but after mounting it on two different drums, A Brady 7 X13, and a Dunnett titanium 6.5 X 13, I've decided it totally kills the drums. Again, maybe a good choice in the studio. The cross stick sounded super dead also.
I drug out a 4 X14 Craviotto that I haven't messed with for a while. It had an Aquarian New Oleans Special batter head over an Evans 300. After a little tuning I played some second line style stuff on it and it sounded really good. Surprisingly the drum had tons of bottom end for a shallow drum. With the wires set real loose it sounded great.
I've pretty much settled on single ply batters. I still like the dry heads for home practice where volume isn't an issue, but for live the singles seem to be the ticket.
I'm going to try a plain old G1 and see how that works out. Just another reason to go to GC tonight.
