What is the reso head of choice for Vistalites

This is what I use on my Slingerland Phantoms (your mileage may vary):

TOMS

Clear Pinstripe batters (they came that way and sounded great, will probably replace with clear Ambassadors); clear Diplomat resonant

BASS

Clear Powerstroke 4 batter; clear Ambassador front (came with it, but that's my typical choice)

Al

Currently running clear pinstripe batters and clear ambassador resos on my vistas. I've tried the dots and they seemed "ringy" to my ears. I prefer the pinstripes for the sound I'm looking for.

I used to play this 24, 18, 16, 13" Kit. Really liked the Look and

Volume but I prefer warmer and quieter Sounds nowadays...
