ATM I have Remo pinstripes (and Emperor X snare) heads on my drums, and just tried drumming with shirts on top of all the drums.
I loved the dead sound it gave, but it was pretty quiet...
Are there any heads that will give a similar dead sound?
Closest thing I can think of would be pulling off your reso's and using a Remo CS Dot with some additional muffling via moongel's or whatever tape / kleenex / whatever combination to further cut overtones.
(ps - anyone know if you can still get dots on top? a quick look at the Remo site had CS dots listed as being underneath...)
Evans Hydraulic heads would probably be the most dead sounding of heads. They are double ply with oil inside. The Aquarian Performance II are in that area too, double ply with dampening ring.
