I bought the kit on ebay and it came with almost new g2s. i didnt really like them that much because they have kind of a plasticy sound to them. So i was wondering what do you guys think the best drum head would be for my stage custom? it is a birch kit with 6 ply toms and 7 ply bass. thanks p.s. for the reso head, i have just the stock yamaha heads which are some type of 1 ply remos... they actually are made in the US... -------------------- QUOTE (Zach NMN @ Nov 6 2009, 04:23 PM) I suggest a molotov cocktail.

As far as your batter head issues, I only have experience with EC2 an Remo Pinstripes, and I liked them both. -------------------- Are you standing close to the edge?

I think they both get a nice sound, the performance IIs will give you less of a ring, while the super II coated will give you more of that jazzy, but still kind of dead sound. -------------------- For Everyone Everywhere Disengaging Overused Music

Private Joined: 7-November 09 Drum Set: Mapex Cymbals: Zildjian Posts: 74	the new ec2 ssts are designed alittle better, just in the fact that the rings are perportioned to the actual size of the drum heads where the old g2's had the same size ring on all the heads regardless of size..It helps alittle but not enough to make that big of difference for the extra $$ - IMO I like the coated heads for the toms regardless of brand..seem to give a warmer tone..I actually have a reversed dot on my floor tom and love the effect I get. All -n- all Aquarians are my favs. PII and the Superkick II is just as good if not better than the emad..and less money. and why mess with that ring of foam??
