I have a 70's Pearl fiberglass kit that I am in the process of putting new heads onto. I have a few random heads that haven't been played on that have been gifted to me by a kind soul. I am about to work on the 16" floor tom. Here are the 3 heads that I have right now to work with:
1. Remo Pinstripe Clear
2. Evans EC Reso Clear
3. Evans G1 Clear
So I'm obviously thinking of putting the Remo clear pinstripe as the batter head. For the reso head, which would be better... the Evans EC Reso or the Evans G1?
If it was a regular wood drum set, I would probably just be using the G1 without even coming on here and asking the question. But since it's a 70's Pearl pure fiberglass kit, I'm here soliciting advice and hoping to get some quick responses so I don't lose my motivation to do this (lol).
I know that the pinstripe batter has muffling built into it's construction as does the Evans EC reso. Will that be too much deadening? Or does the attack and booming volume and sustain of the fiberglass kit offset the muffling characteristics of those 2 heads and produce a great sound do you think? If it's too much deadening effect, then I'll go with the Evans G1 resonant head paired with the Remo clear pinstripe.
Yes, I know some will say to try both...but the reality is that the tuning process is so time consuming for me as I'm really just starting to get the hang of it now (with the help of a Tunebot) that I'd like to be helped along the learning curve through your suggestions. Please?
Thanks!!
