i've got a 14x5.5 Black Panther Birdseye maple and am looking for the driest sounding head for it....any ideas?
thanx a lot, yes, shorter sustain and fewer overtones is what i'm looking for. i do tune mine pretty high so i'll go with the HD over P3...or i'll just drill a few holes and burn it like the other suggestion if i'm broke, hahaBy "dry" I assume you're talking about a head that has a short sustain and few overtones. . . a Remo Powerstroke 3 is a good choice if your drum is tuned low. However, I've found that P3's don't have as big of a tuning range as the HD; they start to choke at higher tension.
with more dryness, is there still a lot of articulation?Second that. Evans Genre Dry HD. W-A-Y dry...

Aquarian Focus-X is a really super dry head, probably dryer than Evans Genera HD dry (I tried that head this weekend on a 13x6 maple snare I thought it wasn't much dry).
I'm using the Evans ST Dry Coated snare head.
They do come in both single and 2 ply, but I found that the single ply is a little bit more crisp... Some people will want to go with the 2 ply though because of durability issues.. but really, I am a pretty heavy hitter and I found that I dont need to hit nearly as hard with this head because of the sound it creates
