ohh ! how about the bass drum? is coated drum head for bass drum produce more boomy sound?

based on the description on evans website really dono how to differentiate...

for rock and metal..use clear, the sound is more 'cutting through' the loud rock music and its "overtone" sounds nice when u do a roll for rock/metal sound.

coated..the sound quite damp (in a good way). the overtone ringing is short, great for jazz...maybe for warmer sound u can tune down (the clear skin) a bit. but there is no harm using coated for rock.

hey anyone tried using clear snare head? that would be pretty cool

me!
im using weatherking pinstripe for snare....
hmm dono how to explain the characteristics
the overtone very high... i use o-ring to dampen it...

wish y'all all the best...
sadly my band still damn noob yet...
haha...

what song you playing pokigaizai?

speaking of heads, anyone using evans hydraulic heads? im thinking of changing all my toms heads, 10,12 n 14. but i dont have experience in this. and i dont know how focused, dry, warm, or bright sounds like. anyone can match the sounding with songs? i tried to look for it but cant find any. haha. and another thing, will the bottom head of the toms will affect the sounding?

maybe bonjovi its my life... still deciding...
nv tot of winning, but to gain experience...

from my random reading from PDF (Pearl Drummers Forum), Evans Hydraulic is not so favourable by them. Its kinda too boxy or dead sound.

Bottom head (resonant) WILL affect the tone and sound of a drum. Try to find Dave Weckle's old video on how he experimented various tuning on drums.

Hope that helps!

if your vocalist have the face like bonjovi and his voice and showmanship, sure win 1. you can quote me on this. hehe, anyway, this kind of exposure is very good. hope u do good dude.

evans hydraulic have short sustain rite? is that what you mean by boxy? most of the time, im playing in my room. so, thats why im considering the sustain thing. i did watch that dave tutorial on youtube. but 2 times already i was dissapointed because it ends just when he want to hit the toms after its being tighten.

yup. i believe thats what they meant by boxy.

what kind of heads are usually good for live performance? let say there is no micing on anything and in a moderate size hall

Aquarian Texture coated response 2!!! oh man! superskins

but their expensive though...

other wise pinstripes are known for making beginner kits sounding good! and ambassadors and emporers are always good choices and of course EC2's and G2's....

anyone played a coated bass drum head?
how it sounds like?

ok guyz, i really need some suggestion here. thinking of getting heads of my toms 10, 12 n 14 changed. type of music that i played is generally a bit of everything. some metal, pop, but mostly rock. as u guyz know, im using cheap pdp ez series fusion kit. most of the time, ill be playing in my room. but i might have to bring my own kit for live performance few times.

any suggestions? thanx~

dude, my suggestion...used goat skin (just kinding). ok seriously, coz u will mostly played in medium size room. used coated. more damp. clear skin is very good for rock but if u only played in a room, the overtone/buzzing from clear skin will vibrate greatly if u r a hard hitting drummer. coated skin can help eliminated this buzzing sound a bit.

since ur kit is a fusion kit, so the size is a bit small...try to used double layer clear skin. good for rock.

just my suggestion.

ops, my sentence up there is not quite right, edited the post. anyway, any specific brands and series?

try those remo double layer, i forgot which model

double layer better for fusion kit
how if standard kit..
wats the difference.?

i plan to change skin oso, i wan try change the 12" tom 1st...

this is just my opinion, coz fusion kit, small size ..already got fast attack...so when used coated the overtone will be shorter. so ,rather than used coated better used double layer (totally based on personal opinion, reference from dave weckle kit and for rock sound)

standard kit..mostly rock configuration 12,14,16...sound slightly big, clear skin is great for live performance. from my survey, never saw rock/metal drummer used coated for metal/rock sound yet.
i dont know about the new age rock, maybe those experimental rock/metal used it.
