Members sidereal Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 They're probably Sonor-OEM'd Remo Ambassadors. Did you try tuning them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RockBass Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 I use Aquarian Response II's on all of my drum heads, and it's NICE. edit:Of course, they were on the kit when I bought it used, and they were tuned properly, so that makes a difference. But it's pretty much a rule that the stock heads on a drum kit will suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members theFoot Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 OK, you asked for it. here come all of the opinions regarding heads and tuning... here's my $.02 is if you are playing rock (classic, heavy, pop, whatever) go with something versatile and durable. The Evans G2, Remo Emporer, or what ever Aquarian equivalant Aqulung211 suggests. These are 2-ply heads without any bonding on the edges, they should give you a mildly controlled tone when tuned high, and a fat tone when tuned low. as a rule of thumb, tune the top head to a nice feel, then tune the bottom head a little higher than the top. good luck.

The same things came on my Mapex when I bought them, only of course they said Mapex on 'em. I got ' em off there as fast as I could. Allow me to play the part of aqua here.Response II's! Every other drum head ever made is pooh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members coyote-1 Posted October 23, 2006 Members Share Posted October 23, 2006 It's pretty much a rule that the stock heads on a decent kit will be Remo Ambassadors. Those do NOT suck. In fact, I still use the stock batter on my 10" tom as well as on the 6-8-10 Rototoms. They just need to be tuned properly.
