Coated head comparison for toms: Remo Ambassador -vs- Remo Emperor Remo sent me a set of heads for him He used a Coated Ambassador over a clear Ambassador on the high tom, and Coated Emperors over clear Ambassadors on the floor toms I really liked that combination, and I've been using it ever since (Sometimes I use coated Ambassadors on the resonant side )
Remo vs. Evans heads | [DFO] Drum Forum I agree Remo coatings for batter heads don't seem to have much of a life-span I seldom use coated heads, prefer textured heads for snares so have limited experience To my ears, Evans heads seem to fit a more modern sound that emphasizes attack at the expense of resonance i would rather have the resonance, ergo i use mostly Remo heads 1 2 3

Remo Pinstripe or Evans EC2? - [DFO] Drum Forum If birch, Pinstripe I personally prefer, evans heads I used Remo for a very long time (14 years) and had to change heads every few months, because the heads would be dead During that time, I was not a hard hitter I switched to Evans when the ec2 came out, and the heads seem to last quite a bit longer in life expectancy (9 -12 months)
