Members faon Posted January 24, 2003 Members Share Posted January 24, 2003 Hello everybody! This is my very first time on the drum forum.Usually I play guitar and sing with my band but now I'm doing some studio work by myself. The problem is this: I have a Ludwig drum with a Ludwig snare.I have to buy a good drum head for the snare and I'm looking for a Bonham/Kravitz snare sound. Which drumhead do I buy?Any suggestions?? Thanks!!!Faon:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Scheming Demon Posted January 24, 2003 Members Share Posted January 24, 2003 You want a coated snare head. I don't know what they use exactly but I recommend Remo Ambassador or Remo Emperer. I believe Bonham used either the coated snare head or CS (Controlled Sound) head, which is clear with a black impact dot on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sir Enrico Buttcock Posted January 25, 2003 Members Share Posted January 25, 2003 Can't go wrong with a Remo coated ambassador on top and clear snare side ambassador on the bottom of the drum. Kinda like 0,10 gauge guitar strings: works for pretty much anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MoosBros Posted January 25, 2003 Members Share Posted January 25, 2003 along the same line as the REMO coated(which is a good choice), you could try a Renaissance batter head (Ambassador weight) and a Renaissance snare side resonant..... they are just a bit warmer sounding that the regular coated heads,, but are quite versatile in sounds,, depending on the tuning.....

Members jokerjkny Posted January 26, 2003 Members Share Posted January 26, 2003 The Remo Coated Ambassador is DEFACTO standard. its like the "D'Addario strings" for your LP. everyone and their mom uses 'em. they chip easily tho, and instead i usually use an Aquarian Texture Coated. Aquarian heads totally rock, and IMHO are better quality. btw, the TC is their version of the CA. another version of the CA is Evans' G1 Coated. if you want something slightly different but cool, try an Evans Power Center w/Dot. Carter Beauford of Dave Matthews Band uses 'em. he tunes his snares super high for that crack. but if i tune my snare low, and i can nail that dry, thump of Cindy Blackman's ludwig snare on "Are You Gonna Go My Way". sooooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
