As I've understood PS3 and Emperor are both muffled 2-ply heads that's suited for rock/metal-drummers who doesn't want much overtones. But what's the difference between them? I played on a drumkit (a Tama Artstar, I have a Superstar) wich had Emperor and Ambassadors as reso and really liked, not a dead sound but some tone but very little overtone. But I have heard that PS3 is good too so I don't know what I should get.
And secondly, I love the snare that many 80's heavy metal bands had. I don't know how to describe the sound so I'll post some links instead. If someone would want to tell how that snare sounds I would be very appreciative. I don't know much what is what when it comes to that.
Of course you would have to get alooot of reverb but still there are cool bands that didn't have that much reverb and still get a very 80's sound. I'll give you some examples:
Tank - Kill. Reverb but that not much? Is this a very dead snare? I think this recording has a very unique snare.
Loudness - Like Hell: Reverb plus some more reverb
My drumteacher sayed Remo Pinstripe Clear would do the trick as snarehead since it would get no overtones and a very "damp" (don't know what to call it) sound.
