So I've got a TAMA Artwood Maple snare 13" that came with a new PS3 Remo head. I like the head but it sounds a little too controlled for my taste. I want something that provides more sensitivity too. I like to play a lot of ghost notes. I don't play very hard and don't play metal or anything.
I'm mostly an Evans guy but the salesman at Sam Ash talked me into trying a 13" Remo AmbX coated head. I haven't put it on yet. I want to get a some perspective on this head before using it because I'm considering going back and exchanging it if it isn't what I'm looking for. So I have a few questions...
Is the coated AmbX brighter or darker than the Powerstroke 3? Which will provide more sensitivity?
I know a coated Ambassador roughly corresponds to a coated Evans G1 so what does the Amb-X correspond to in the Evans lineup? And what does the Powerstroke 3 roughly correspond to?
Any insight is appreciated. Just trying to "get my bearings" in the Remo world.
