HI ther.....

I am just a beginner. I am completely new to drum heads. I am using a cheap ( chancellor) drum set and it sounds horrible so I decided to change the snare drum head. I dont play live I just practice at home. I am lookin for something which will suite all styles of music. Can anybody help me with that? and one more thing is it necessary to change the resonant head?
 
Dude, I´ve only been playing for 4 years but I can assure U, U need o change the batter and the resonant heads of the snare. I advice remo, coated (better if it is SC, sound control) for the batter, and a very thin head for the resonant
 
I used Remo heads for more years than I care to remember up until about three years ago when I went totally Evans. For your snare I recommend as a good starting point an Evans Power Center Reverse Dot for the batter head and an Evans Hazy 300 for the snare side. I use this combination on most of my snares and play most venues on these.

Try an Evans Genera Dry (not the HD version - it'll be too thick to work for every style). Just the regular single ply.
