On drums...

Not much to add...completely agree with everyones thoughts.

For the record, how you play means a lot. This site is flooded with players that lean towards the Jazz spectrum. It's understandable why they would prefer coated. They tune better at higher settings. After another go at them recently I have removed the coated Emps, the drums sounded great but being a rock guy, I couldn't live without the punch of clears.

What heads are on that kick now, did I miss that?

Thanks for everyone's opinions!!!!

I'll have to experiment with the coated Emperors over the Ambassadors; however, Cliff is right...I do like the sound I'm getting from my toms currently. The main change I'm worried about making is with the bass drum (which, I'm unsure of the heads..."sonor" coated resonant head and unmarked coated batter side). I think I'm also going to go with clear resonant heads.

Like I mentioned, the set's in a deep clean process so it will be a while before I get to the tuning aspect but I wanted to understand the difference in head's before making a decision.
