So, I just inherited a 1939 Ludwig WFL Twin Sensitive Snare drum with all original hardware minus the heads and am fishing for what might be a good head replacement for the batter and resonant heads. Also, the snares need a little work ..... any ideas what might be a good setup for the snare wires? I was looking at Puresound vintage snare wires but, the Twin Sensitive snare series had such an odd snare wire setup with catgut and wire-wound silk. In terms of heads, I experiment alot with electronic music and like detuning my heads to produce an almost sampled dry sound with no ring but a thick head on this snare makes it sound really boxy. So far I have settled on the Remo PS3 since it still lets out a little ring and tone. Don't want to kill it fully. :-) I also know a thicker, medium resonant head is preferred for this snare as well .... but again, not sure on the options out there. Any ideas at all are much appreciated!!
