Hi everyone,
I've just recently got a new Gretsch Renown Maple limited edition and its brilliant, BUT it came with Evans clear G2 and it sounds really awful. Anyway i tune it's really dull and has no meaty sound to it so i wondered what heads would suit it best. I would like a big punchy 'studio' sound to my kit, no over tones (i have e-rings) and defenatly no big 'fat' rock sound as i play Jazz/Fusion kinda stuff.
My drum teaacher has a little 'rule' that he uses to get heads;
Birch = Clear
Maple = Coated
Lower quality woods = Pinstripes
Is this a good gideline to go by ?
Thanks once again,
Tris
