i like the drums to sing i dont want a dead sound
1 ply heads wont last me very long ... im probably think clear emps over clear ambassadors?
well i dont want them to ring alot ... just like some ring not dead like pinstripes or something. my kit is gretsch ... coated heads look nice on gretsch kits so maybe i will try coated ambassadors
which heads would be best for maple kit ? suggestions ?
... it matters much more with what you want to hear and your ability to tune. This afternoon I was playing a DW Collectors kit (maple), the batter heads were Remo Pinstripes and the resonant heads were Remo Ambassadors. These drums were not even close to sounding dead because they were tuned to their shells....
