Hello DW
I'm really influenced by John Otto from Limp Bizkit, I love the way he plays with all the ghost notes and off time stuff, and My snare head just isnt getting me that defined ghost note sound.
I know that its not just down to the head but I dont want to replicate his snare sound I just want a head thats dry and will give me those nice ghost notes. I;ve been researching heads a lot and still have no idea what I'd need to get to achieve that sound, at the moment I'm using a Coated Emporer over the stock Ambassador and unless I hit the head dead center I get a few overtones which I really dont like! so i was looking at heads that had a sound control ring around the outer edge but I have no idea if they will help me sort it out?
Can anyone recommend some heads? I don't mind who makes them, wether it be Remo, Evans etc. etc. but I will be ordering today
If it makes any difference the snare is Mapex Black Widow 14" x 5" Maple snare
Thanks!
