I'm a beginning drummer. I was fortunate enough to score a great Craigslist deal on a five piece Mapex Saturn shell pack (10/12/14/16/22). When I got them, the toms had Emperor clear heads over clear Ambassadors, the snare had a coated Ambassador batter, and the kick had a clear Emperor batter and Aquarian Regulator reso head. All the batter heads are pretty worn, so I'd like to replace the batter and reso heads on all the drums (except for the Regulator, which looks to be in good shape). I've done a lot of research on heads, but I don't have any practical experience, since this is my first kit.
Could those of you who play Saturns please tell me what heads you've used, what you liked/didn't like about them, and what type(s) of music you play.
BTW, right now I'm leaning toward the following:
Remo PS3 coated kick batter head (with the Regulator reso)
coated over clear on snare and toms
Evans heads for snare and toms (Aquarian is too expensive, and I've seen reports of premature wear on Remo coated heads).
Thanks in advance.
