This is my current setup that I am really loving for that classic warm round
tom sound.
12" - coated amb over clear amb
13" - coated emperor over ec res
16" - vintage emperor over ec res
I found that using single ply heads on the 12" tom is the way to go (for me) Broader tuning range, better feel and more depth/clarity for that size drum.
I also really dig the ec resonants - they sound very similar to clear ambs but I find them easier to tune and very slightly darker & more focused.
