Pearl Rhythm Traveler Recommendations

Greetings to all drumheads at the forum. I'd like to know if there's anyone here that can give some suggestions on heads for the Pearl Rhythm Traveler. Mine still has all the original heads and I already know that in order to maximize this compact kits sonic potential, I'm gonna have to change the heads (particularly the bass drum)

 

The styles I mainly explore are, Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop (some Funk/Fusion)

 

Thanks for ANY feedback given.

I have a RT - the stock heads make it sound like you're playing a set of BONGOS :eek:

 

I picked up a set of Evans Hydraulics - those tone down the BONNNGGGG - not completely but they bring it down where the kit sounds good around other instruments. Played alone they're still kinda bongo-ish but that's just the nature of the small shells. I got the Hydros in clear - but you can get see-thru blue or solid black. I thought black might look cool on that kit, with the black kick reso and stuff...

 

I still have the stock heads on the snare - I don't mind the sound it has. I cranked it up tight and it's pretty cool.
