Hi all,
I've bought my first head yesterday, since my drums came with good heads two years ago there was no need for me to buy new ones. So, I bought the Remo EmperorX yesterday for my snare.
I have a Tama Rockstar steel snare, 14x6.5 I think, and I've tuned it with the reso at the lowest clear note and the batter pretty tight (I don't know how much turns), now it has some ring to it but it sounds not as 'alive' as I like it to be. I am afraid of over stressing the head, since it's my first head I've bought and tuned from scratch so to say.
Do you have tips for me? Should I tune the reso tighter or tighten up the batter?
Does anyone have experience with the EmperorX and does it have to sound more dead then other heads?
By the way, I used to have a clear kind of Ambassador no name brand.
Thanks for the input .
