I have done a search on here but can't find any info on the issue so I thought I would start a thread.
I have restored an old premier kit and have a tom 12x9 that has had normal 12" heads on it, and it sounded ok.
I picked up a remo ambassador clear reso pre international cheap and easily but I am having a harder time getting hold of a remo ambassador coated pre international for the batter.
I have found someone that can supply this head but it will be a few weeks and, as I work in a school was hoping to record my kit in the summer holidays and wanted to get a recording with new heads etc.
Does anyone think that if I put a standard coated ambassador on, will it make a difference as you can see about a 5mm gap around the head, between the shell and rim.
Am I being impatient? Should I just wait or do the recording with the current 12" standard premier batter.
Any advice, please!
