First off, I apologize in advance if this has been asked before, which I'm sure it has, but when I went to search I didn't know what to search for to get results I needed.
So I've had the same batter heads on my drum kit for probably close to a year, and the resos... well they haven't changed since I bought the kit and the kit's seller had it in his basement since the early 1990s, so those are impossible to tune at this point. I've learned to cope for a while, but I have some shows coming up that I want to sound really good. Issue is, a trip to buy replacements is roughly $110 which I'd rather not spend if I don't have to.
So the question is, does anyone have any YouTube or audio clips that showcase toms with resos and clips without resos? I'd like to hear the difference as well as knowing any drawbacks/benefits as I'm considering only buying batter heads, save the snare, to cut the costs down a bit.
I'm not a very experienced tuner, and I'm worried if I do decide to invest in both heads, I'll screw something up, stretch a head out unevenly, or whatever else could happen when attempting to balance the heads and have to replace them.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to answer this question.
