I have a Ludwig Keystone kit (13, 16 &18 floors, Bonham setup) with vintage coated emperors on the toms. I haven't heard them close mic'd yet but I don't think they sound great to my ear, they sound maybe a little too vintage-ey if that makes sense, kind of ringey but they are tuned correctly. I think I want them just a tad more modern, I play hard rock and classic rock, I'm not an extremely heavy hitter. I'm thinking of putting regular coated emperors on them, will there be much difference sound wise?
I know they come with clear stock heads, but I don't think I want to go clear. Open to any suggestions but definitely want to stick to Remo's.
Thanks.
