Hey all - so I stopped in at my local Guitar Center yesterday and noticed they had a bunch of heads on clearance. They had a few (6) 14" white coated G14 heads priced at $4.95 each. After reading the box, the G14 is basically a single-ply 14-mil thick head. I know the G2's are two 7-mil ply heads, and I love those. The G14 can't be any worse - so I bought them all. Good deal.
Does nobody like the G14? Does it have any inherent problems? I figure the rate I go through heads when I'm busy, they wouldn't be on for more than 3-4 weeks at a time anyway, and now I have a stock of them.
They had other sizes in clear, but not all the sizes I needed, so I just opted to buy all the 14" ones. I hope nobody else wanted them
What bummed me out was the fact that it was news to the clerk there that Remo was making clear powerstroke 3 bass drum heads with a black dot. He had no idea. My Pearl Reference Pures are getting black dots on the next go around - even a black dot on the front of the bass drum!
