I`m a multiinstrumentalist/songwriter/producer who has an old Ludwig "Frankenstein-kit" a 1971 14x6,5 supersensitive/supraphonic snare. 1976 24" aluminium Bassdrum. 1973 13" and 16" wooden toms(dont know type of wood).
as I`m a multiinstrumentalist I haven`t gotten the time to get decent grip on what heads to use, I`ve sort of built this kit piece by piece and used random coated heads. some of these heads have never been replaced and are ooooold.. so I`ve decided to buy new heads for my kit and I wanted to ask you guys for advice..
I`m basically mainly going for a 60s sound on my kit. with all coated heads, but being a producer, as time goes by I`d like to experiment with different heads to achieve different sounds as well.
so.. anybody got any advice for coated heads that would suit this kind of kit, going for a late 60s sound?
example of what kind of sound I`m going for... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i015mWV95eE&feature=related
I`m pretty happy with the sound of my kit as it is but the heads are so old and worn and I`ve never replaced all of them.. so I know the kit can sound a lot better...
another question for the patient ones: If I buy clear heads, will I be able to get a "modern" sound out of the kit? or do I need a modern kit?
I think (and hope) that a good drumkit is all I need. and heads, hoops, tuning and production is the main difference in a modern vs. vintage sound. but I don`t really know a lot about these things...
in other words, Is it possible to get my kit to sound like this:

or this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DcHKOC64KnE
with different heads, maybe hoops and tuning?
and of course playing style and production...
sorry `bout difficult question with lots of factors.
