Maybe I'm just getting a little cranky here as I cleaned shells, hardware and changed out heads on my kit this weekend. Perhaps I'm just having a bad day in my old age.

I mean really, no damage, never been struck by a stick, using clear Ambassadors ... they are close to bullet proof. If we were talking snare side, I might understand, but the bottom of my toms? And not looking for a brand or sound change? It just seems like this is all an unnecessary contribution to the drum head manufacturers retirement fund. So, again ...
Why exactly do we change the reso side of things?! Joey
