Hello, Friends!
I beg your patience as all this drumming business is still fresh and new to me. I am a bass player who, just last month, bought a kit (used from OfferUp) for the very first time.
The set (a Tama Imperialstar) came with the requisite entry-level Meinl cymbals but had Evans G2 clear heads. I, first, replaced the cymbals with Paiste PST7s but did not think too much about the heads. However, as I played with them, I was rather unsatisfied with the tone they were producing. I wanted something more "thud-y", "warmer" is the term I had seen used often.
At some point, Remo Emperor Vintage Coated heads hit my radar. So, I checked out the Remo site and... Wow! There was what I was listening for!
On Friday, I picked some up at the local GC and spent this morning changing out the heads. Now, I suppose that( in the future), this endeavor may become tedious. But, I sure did enjoy doing it for the first time. I poured a cup of coffee, put on some Mantovani, and got down to business.
I am sure that I have some more fine-tuning to do but, to my ears, the drums sound like a million bucks now!
I thank you for your indulgence in this. To me; it's brand new.
