I need to get heads for a Ludwig Element Birch 14x5 snare right away. This kit is used in a small church. The room seats 150-200, has a 10 foot acoustic ceiling and is fully carpeted, so the acoustics are decent, with not much ring in the room. We mic everything, and apply only enough gain on the snare to balance it in the mix, because its ambient sound fills the room as it is. The problem is, as you know, stock heads on kits like these are coated saran wrap, and make the drums sound like garbage cans. Which heads would you recommend for this particular snare, top and bottom, in this type of a setup? Because of this snare's 14x5 shallow depth, it would be nice if we could get heads that produce a slightly deeper, fatter tone, if possible.
