Hi guys, just wondering what snare head combinations have worked for you on steel or brass shell drums. Each time I go to buy heads I always select a Coated Ambassador for the top and a clear, snare-side Ambassador reso head for the bottom. I never experiment with heads, I always choose these heads and if the drum store is out of Ambassador heads I'll come back another time rather than picking something else. I have used Evans brand on my snare; The one with the reverse dot. I didn't love it. I felt it dried out the drum a bit too much for my taste. I've also used Aquarian heads in the past and I really liked them. I have a snare with a modern Vintage Aquarian head and the sound is very rich and warm. So, for a standard, open sounding drum which heads would you recommend? The idea is to get the most out of the sound of that brass shell and hoops that I'm using. Any suggestions?
Thanks
