Head Recommendations for 1958 WFL "Duco" Snare

[Donovan Drums]

Looking for recommendations for batter and snare heads for a 5.5x14" '58 "Duco" snare drum.

Thanks!

I have had good results with the Aquarian vintage series batter heads. I never can remember whether it is Modern vintage or American vintage. I also use Remo diplomat thin as possible snare side heads. Actually a nice wood drum like this will sound good with almost any good quality head. Good luck.

I have a 1956 13x5.5 WFL and I have an Earthtone batter and remo ambassador snare side, love it!

The Evans Calftone would be a nice choice.

Very warm sound, they look the vintage part, and they sound similar to a real bovine head, at least from the comparisons I've heard. I did have an issue with one of them though. After some use, a tom head just refused to tune up properly. It kind of went flat on me. Weird.

But I do love their sound and look.

Kentville Kangaroo hide head on the batter and a remo renaissance snare side.
