New Heads

Haven't been replacing skins on my yamaha YD's mahogany kit, and its time. Right now I have pinstripes on 13" TT and 16" FT and the resonant stock. Snare has an coated emperor with stock resonant, sounds sick, but gotta see what else is out there. So far my snare might be getting a emperor X batter and black suede snare side, mix it up a bit ha. from my toms i haven't been sure, I'm looking at the clear powerstroke 3's and clear hazy ambassadors or emperors. I was thinking on getting coated for the resonant, can't find to many people that have it, is it a good idea too? I wouldn't mind trying it. or would it be a bad idea to match the snare, using black suede on the resonant?
 
I've used coated G1's, Strata 1000's, and now Aquarian Modern Vintage as resonant heads and there's no reason a coated head can't make a great bottom head.

In general they sound a little more controlled and have a little less brightness than clear heads.

I think Black Suede Ambassadors would be fine for bottom heads.
