Kudos to the Evans Genera Dry!

I like HD or Genera Dry on brass or aluminum piccolo snares, but I keep them far away from my Supra or Maple shell snares. Those get G12s now.

I agree about the overtones not being quite as full and rich. I've always used an Amb on my Gretsch, but it is very hard to tune with that head. I do prefer the sound I get from my acro with a PCRD, but the Gretsch is a problem child. The HD Dry tamed it. It sounds good now, but very flat and dry. Not optimal, but passable.

Yep, it's forgiving with tuning, which was good for me!

Next batter head's going to be an Aquarian Texture Coated (Ambassador equivalent). It sounds as good as an Ambo just shy of its sweet spot and, like the Evans, the coating doesn't wear off easily.

Put a HD Dry on the 5 x14 maple, Ambassador snare side and 20 strand PureSounds. To get the wood tone, put on an S-Hoop. Lovely dry, woody sound.

Patting myself on the back for that one. You can see that every trick in the book was thrown at the drum. But it worked. I'll be...
