Hey, some of you may have seen my other thread about my newly ordered Ludwig Black Beauty 14x5 that should arrive in a week or two. I've previously only really ever used 13" snares so my stock of heads won't be any good.
So, this being my first BB, my first Ludwig, my first brass and first 14" snare...
Remo Coated Ambassador or Coated Emperor?
I like a bit of ring from my snare, and normally tune pretty high for a nice 'snap'. I'm hoping to get that snap along with a nice depth to the sound with this 'ultimate' snare so I'm just about to order some heads in preparation for it's arrival as I wont be leaving the stock heads on. I'm an average-to-heavy hitter (maybe 7/10 at my hardest) so need something relatively strong. I've always used coated Ambassadors on my snares but this is uncharted territory for me!
So, what would you recommend/what do you BB owners use?
