hehe, hingi lang po ulit ako sana ng advice tungkol sa mga heads.
when i searched for drum heads around malls, hindi ako makapili ng drum head sa mga nakita ko, ito yung mga nakita ko, pakisabi na lang po kung alin sa opinyon nyo yung best for snares. =)

remo coated ambassador
evans genera hd coated
evans hazy coated snare drum head

may nakita rin ako evans g1 pero ang mahal kasi kasama siya sa isang set. di ko pa naman kailangan ng set eh, yung para sa snare lang. hehe
thanks in advance for your opinyons! =)

remo coated ambassador
evans g1 - mas mahal

almost same lng sila, pinaka versatile yang two na yan

reme pinstripe - for toms and bass only...but sometimes used as batter for snare drums.. for others only.. kanya kanya lng yan.

maganada din ba tumunog ang ambassador na skin pag nilgagay mo sa mga tomtoms, kasi may sizes din dba, instead of pinstripe for the tomtoms,

any comments or suggestion na durable din para sa mga tomtoms

Post by: Miggleness on July 08, 2006, 01:57:43 PM
remo coated ambassador is equivalent to Evans G1 coated.  Not that they give the same sound.  I read that G1 coated gives a cleaner sound and has better coating (but in doubt ako sa coating ng evans).  Haven't tried either on my snare tho.

evans hazy (200/300) coated snare drum head - This is the snare side head or resonant head of evans.  Remo's equivalent product is the Ambassador/Diplomat snare side.


Ang gamit ko ngayon Evans Power center reverse dot over Hazy 300. Its basically an Evans G1 with a thin round film about 5 inches in diameter at the center underneath the head.  Sayang walang picture nun...  

I really love the sound of it.  Gives a more focused crack when hit at the center and reduces ring.  Gives a ringy slap when hit outside the area of the DOT.  Parang Evans Power Center or Remo controlled sound sya na hindi masyadong namumuffle ang ring.

Unfortunately, yung mga snare heads ng evans dito ay kasama lang sa pack (G1,G2 clears), bulok nga!   Kaya mag-Remo ka na lang.  I've heard remo ambs on snare drum at gaganda ng tunog.  But since its one ply 10mil (like evans G1) medyo ringy sya, something that might bother you eventually.


ambassador on toms is a good idea. Matibay naman ito basta maayos kang pumalo.  Kung maganda ang drumset mo, lalabas ang tunog nya sa single ply heads kasi hindi namu-muffle yung tunog.  Again, you should try it.  If you play rock, better stick with G2, EC2, Emperor, or Pinstripe.

get remo coated amb over remo clear snare side amb.
pag evans, g1 over hazy 300/200
pag gus2 mo mas focus tunog. get 2 ply(coated) or ung may dot ung batter.

c. are so thrifty, pinipilit pa ring gamitin yung stick kahit pudpod na at wala ng tip

Post by: peeves24 on July 16, 2006, 07:31:35 PM
surprise surprise i cleaned my drums today and experimented tuning combinations on the toms. i mentioned before that im using remo pinstripes on batter and lazer double ply on resonants for the toms. today i tried to switch them over and used the lazers as batter instead.

result: lazer double ply > remo pinstripes hehehe

i got deeper lows and really focused sounds. the lazers are definitely a step up to pinstripes in sound. i sometimes put muffling on my 16 tom when they were on pinstripes but now i dont have to.

i was skeptical about lazers and dismissed them as good for backups and reso only for the longest time but now im a fan!

just dont use lazer on snare, i've tried it on my maple and metal snares and couldnt get it to sound lively. its too dark and lacking crispness.

Post by: Eni on July 16, 2006, 07:46:51 PM
2ply over 2ply? woah,focused nga yan,ganda sa studio types. pero di ko recomend yan sa live?,.pero wag lng sana dead ang sound. kc i prefer naopen ang sound ng tom q.kc 10 feet away my kit sounds brilliant.

my plan

evans reverse dot over remo snareside amb clear on snare
evans g2 coated over remo clear amb on toms
remo power stroke 3 over evans eq3 bass

wahehehehehhe

2 ply over 2 ply when tuned medium tight (top and bottom having the same tension) still sing. they also sound the same near or far from the kit  :D

pag na tune ko sabi ng tom, booooiiiing dang.hahaha
Title: drum head talk naman
Post by: peeves24 on July 16, 2006, 08:17:32 PM
practice...lots and lots of it. then there's the lug count and bearing edge consideration.

boing boing din yung tunog ng toms ko dati but i couldnt justify the cost of a new kit so i tried 'modding' it. perfect bearing edges are the key to improve sound and easier tuning. my drums used to have a straight 45 degree bearing edge and it was boingy as hell. not to mention that it was rough and uneven! i read about the old style bearing edges which have a round-over counter cut on the outside. i leveled both edges and did classic style edges then tuning became a breeze ever since.

my 16" tom originally came as a 6 lugger, replaced the hoops for 8 lugs and re drilled the lug holes. big big difference too.
Title: drum head talk naman
Post by: Eni on July 16, 2006, 08:23:04 PM
hindi ko kaya mag modify ng kits haha.tune tune tune na lng. >_<
i believe na mas maganda 30 deg sa tomtoms para may initial focused sound at 45 sa snare for max. resonance.

minsan nakakabanas pag tune mo na ung every lugs. ayaw mag parehas ng tunog wahahah
Title: drum head talk naman
Post by: Miggleness on July 16, 2006, 10:06:15 PM
lupet tlaga ng ginawa mo pao!

i agree eni, masmahirap itune yung 2 ply heads.  Di ko nga gusto yugn nabili kong G2, kahit nanapalitan ko.  Sticky at madaling matanggal ang coating ng snare batter. Tapos may parts ng G2 na patay ang tunog pag itono. bleh!  Next time mag amb coated na lang ako siguro for everything unless makapagorder ako ng EC2.

sound samples namna pao!

hmmm walang white ring yung sa kin, clear sya na parang pinstripe din ang itsura except wala rung black ring. oil filled sa gitna tapos parang compressed yung edge. 515 each para sa 16" tapos 350 ata yung 12"

Post by: omnicloud7 on July 17, 2006, 06:25:58 PM
yup, drum tuning ang pinakaimportante sa pagpaganda ng tunog ng drums. i have my stock fernando heads on my drumset. sobrang ayos na ng tunog nito for me once nahanap ko yung right tunog. ang problema nga lang is i really need to muffle them kasi maliit lang room ko kayo ang lakas nung overtones and nung echo. sa snare ganun din, natanggal ko na yung parang bakal na tunog and i found a nice quack este crack sound. =)
Title: drum head talk naman
Post by: legnacilyz on July 17, 2006, 11:34:05 PM
So far nman po, nkuha ko n ung mejo close sa preferd sound ko sa tom... Stock heads of fernando is 1 ply (i guess) so i think they will produce boingy unfocused sound.  Grabe, it's a pain in the neck nung hinahanap ko ung closest sound.  pag mababa lng ung tuning, ok lng. pag tinaas mo, it gives you a choked sound. natry ko nga dati na ung mga CD labels, dinikit ko sa gitna ng heads.  umayos ung tunog pero choked pren ng onti. Pero my master told me that id rather muffled the edge of the heads than the middle. ang kalokohan kong ginawa? rugby.. nilagyan ko paikot ung head. prang o-ring.. heheheh let it dry. then tried it. dun ko na achieve ung closest sound. Pero magkaiba pren ng feel compared to remos.... ü

Both Remo and Evans are good.  But I prefer Evans more than Remo.  For me, Evans have better quality, and their clear G1 and G2 heads for toms sounds fuller and rounder than its Remo counterparts.

I have evans.. man, ang sagwa ng coating ng G1 /w reverse dot!  Makita nyo ang drums ko ang dungis na dahil dun. at lahat ng stocks sa audiophile na reverse dot ganun. defective batch siguro.  Terrible.

Remo is cheaper here but that doesn't mean its the lesser of the two.  I bought evans G2 kasi walang Remo emperor dito.  Ayoko ng pinstripe kasi gusto ko yung masmahaba ang sustain ng toms ko.  Kung may emperor, remo na ako.. kasi its going to be cheaper at yun ang gamit ni tre cool!

Try them both. Siguro ngayon remo, 1-2yrs from now pag wasak na heads mo, evans naman. Both are great heads kuno.. masama lang experience ko sa evans coating.

Ano pong mga drumheads ang maganda para sa inyo?
-Sa snare, toms at bass
-Batter at resonant
-Price
-setting (tension)
-sound
-mufflers?
 
:lol:

sakin all stocks
setting:
snare = super tight yung resonant, mas maluwag ng onti yung batter, hindi masyado maluwag yung snare wires (kapag hindi na nagrarattle)

toms = mas mahigpit yung resonant, maluwag (onting luwag lang at magkakaroon na ng wrinkles sa head) = low tone

bass = mas mahigpit yung resonant, may unan sa loob (mas malapit sa batter), may masking tape dun sa tinatamaan ng beater = walang overtone, dugdug lang...

you could go with the conventional remo batter & resonant sets pero for my opinion, i'd go with evans. mas full para sa akin ang tunog nya if toned right compared to remo. i dunno, i may have a hearing problem...
Title: Drumheads
Post by: legnacilyz on September 17, 2006, 11:43:20 PM
just an advice...

for reso, you can use the stock heads... pag magsstay ka sa stock heads pati sa batter, a muffling would do and proper tuning to bring you near branded heads quality sound.. you can also create a poor man's "Remo Controlled Sound" type of thing on a stock snare batter head..

cheers!!!

In general, some drummers put bass drum impact pads on their bass drum heads in order to prolong the durability of their kick batter.  It can also add an extra punch on the bass drum sound.

Instead of buying those commercially-available bass drum impact pads, some drummers improvise with household products like tissue, thin piece of foam, etc...  I even heard of a drummer who uses feminine napkins for this purpose!  They tape those things on their kick batters.

Worried about getting those beaters dirty?  It's just a matter of mounting those pads cleanly, and making sure that the kick batter itself is clean.

Going back to the topic...


I prefer Evans drumheads.  Their drumheads are more consistent and I find them having better tone and much easier to tune.  Eversince the D'Addario Company acquired Evans, the latter's product quality has greatly improved.  And with Evans, I'm able to achieve the quality drum sounds that I prefer.

Remo also makes excellent drumheads, but Evans is my number one choice.  Evans heads may be a little more expensive than Remo heads, but it's worth it.


My current snare drum set-up:

On my 5.5x14" Tama Starclassic Maple:
batter = Evans Genera Dry coated
resonant = Evans Snare Side Glass 500 clear

On my 5x13" Tama Artwood Maple:
batter = Evans G1 coated
resonant = Evans Snare Side Hazy 300 clear

Good question!

There are numerous factors involved, so I guess we can't really generalize it.  Not all drums are the same...  For example, there are plenty of brands and models of maple drums available worldwide.  Assuming that we have all of these maple drum models of the same size, they would still sound different from each other.

One maple drum may have a thicker shell, or a shell with more plies, or with different ply thicknesses, or with a different bearing edge, or with suspension mounts, or with different design lugs and hoops, different construction method, etc. etc. and so forth... Gets?  :D

But what we can do is we can become aware of the sound qualities produced by different woods.  Here's some useful wood info from The Drum Tuning Bible...

http://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/id14.html

Now that we are familiar with the certain sound qualities produced by certain woods, we can familiarize ourselves with different brands and models of drumheads, and the different sounds that they can produce.

Experimentation, patience, a little research, and a good pair of ears are keys.  I hope these personal opinions of mine are helpful.

at ano ba ung mga kapareho ng remo coated ambassador at controlled sound sa evans?



Warm - more organic-sounding; fat, meaty, dense, having good low-end.

Bright - more brilliant-sounding; more high-end; usually has more projection for live situations.

Source: Evans Drumheads Website (Sound Spectrum Chart)


The Remo Ambassador is an industry-standard one-ply drumhead for general use.  Its Evans counterpart... the G1 model.

Remo Controlled Sound (CS) drumheads feature a dot in the middle; an extra ply mounted either above or below the drumhead in order to add durability and contribute to a more controlled drum sound.  Its Evans counterpart... the Power Center models.

i'd stay away from the evan heads sold here.  I bought a set, even had it replaced.  The coating of the reverse dot is sticky and wouldn't last 2 weeks.  Dumidikit sa sticks, messes your set.  Heto patunay:

The G2 heads sound quite nice tho.  I also tested remo ambassador and its sounds sweet, pero nasa sayo na din kung anong tunog ang habol mo. kung gusto mo pang rakrakan, pinstripe para punchy ang tunog with minimal resonance.

for me, evans is more durable... yung 16 inch floor tom ng drumset ng school ensemble ko is using Evans Genera G2.. 2 ply.. going around 4 years nah! on its 2nd year from being the drumhead on the floor tom, nagpalit kame ng batter head ng 12 inch tom nmen.. ayun, ngayon, bumigay na.. nagkapunit na sa mei bearing for about an inch.. laging nwawala sa tune.. hav to tune it nanaman mmya sa B flat thou..  :shock:

sa remo nman po mga sir, is Fyberskyn 3 still available? maganda ren naman yung head na to.. kahit wala kang reso head.. One ply ata to na makapal..

I bought a 10" coated amb long time ago. Kanina ko lang pinalitan ang reso head, so its G2 clear over coated amb.  Ibang iba ang tunog nya ngayon. Mas-buo sya compared sa stock grestch head.  Nabawasan ang plastic sound nya and its warmer.  So, hindi pala overrated mga nababasa ko na malaki ang influence ng reso head sa sound.

last night I installed the ambassador over stock head on my 10".  Its got a thumpy sound.. parang "thug" at hindi yung "boin..inggg" ng G2.  It sustains forever kasi halos pantay ang reso at batter.  Medium tight tension.

Somehow, I miss the attack coming from the G2, kahit na parang plasticky tunog nya upclose.

So binalik ko nag G2.  I'll keep the amb in case my taste changes. hehe.

sir anung tunog ng starclassic maple mo very warm ba yung dating???

Yes bro it's warm, with a good amount of crack.  Its die-cast hoops are helpful in contributing to its sound, offering clear and penetrating rimclick and rimshot sounds.

With the Genera Dry batter, my snare drum's sound is predictably drier and more controlled.  But I wish to go back to a standard one-ply head for its next batter change (an Evans coated G1), in order to get a more open, more natural sound.

ok lang!
kung mga roughly 1/4 ang kapal ng toms mo, pasok jan ang pinstripes.
wag lang masyado makapal tulad ng Pearl reference snare o tulad nung drums ni danny carey. o wag din parang pearl MMX na may reinforcement rings yung toms. magtutunog patay yan parang humampas ka ng unan.

medyo may kamahalan, but i suggest subukan mo muna buying one of each para ma-try mo sa kit mo.
i try not to be biased sa brands, so go for it.
describe ko na lang ang sound ng pinstripes. focused, not too much ring, and maganda ang attack.  medyo versatile din ang tuning range ng pinstripes but that also depends on the drum.
wala pa kasi akong experience sa evans kaya i can't give a comparison.

I like Evans Drumheads.  Remos are good, but I like Evans better.  I find them to be more consistent and easier to tune.  I can easily achieve the drum sounds that I prefer.  Quality of their drumheads and accessories also greatly improved eversince the D'Addario Company acquired Evans a few years ago.  They may be a bit more expensive than Remo, but it's very much worth it.  That's right - you get what you pay for.

REMO for me. I am not against EVANS as i have seen and played on some of their heads. but my personal preference is with Remo. to me, they are tried and tested with regards to durability and sound. and cheaper locally than Evans (which is a big factor). And its availability (especially on the 14" coated ambs) is dependable compared to Evans (2 times ako bumalik sa MAIN showroom ng Evans distributor, laging walang 14").

ano ung difference ng batter heads and resonant heads? kita ko kasi sa evans website eh


Batter heads are the top-side heads; the ones you hit with your sticks.  Resonant heads are the bottom-side heads.

Need more technical info?  Visit the Drum Tuning Bible (http://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/index.html)


Here's an excerpt of what the Drum Tuning Bible says:

Batter Head: The batter head controls the feel of the hit, initial pitch, the sound of the stick slap and the initial element of the drum sound or overtones. When the drum is hit, the ear hears mostly the attack and the fundamental pitch of the drum. Overtones emitted by the batter head are washed out at a distance, but aid in the overall projection.

Resonant Head: Often underestimated for its contribution to the tone, it is mostly responsible for the pitch, lingering tone and pitch of that created as a result of striking the batter head and resonance of the shell. The resonant head produces “resonance” and aids in sustain, it has a major effect in the overtones and enhances the timbre of the drum. Generally you do not use anything other than single ply on the bottom, but there are exceptions.

From Remo's website (http://www.remo.com/)

Pinstripe® heads are made with two 7-mil Mylar® plies, and have quick decay, making them ideal heads for the “fat” sounds of Pop, Rock and R&B and for those who want a low pitched sound with moderate attack and response characteristics.

Ambassador® heads are medium-weight heads made with a single ply 10-mil Mylar® film to produce an open, bright, and resonant sound with plenty of attack.

I prefer 2-ply skins for my toms, so I'd go for Evans' G2 or EC2 heads, or Remo's Pinstripe or Emperor heads.  I prefer more low end and a more round, more focused tom sound.

@All:

I'd take Evans over Remo anyday. Evans' coating just lasts longer. A LOT longer than Remo's. after 2 hours of playing my new 14" Coated Ambassador, the coating just wore off.. I have a coated G2 on my other snare, it has been on for around 2 weeks na. and the coating barely disappeared. LOL!

the audiophile in makati cinema sq never has a supply of heads. hassel talaga. kahit G2's. they say that they will get new delivery but it never comes.. 

No offense to the folks from Audiophile, but yeah... They do say that they'll be having a new shipment, but they can't really confirm when it will really come.  Which is why I got tired of asking them about their Evans shipments.

Title: Re: Evans and Remo Drumheads
Post by: drumster on November 16, 2006, 12:43:18 AM
Adding to my last post...

What I notice is, one-time bigtime ang pagpasok ng shipments ng Evans drumheads dito.  So, if ever Audiophile's new Evans shipment finally arrives, I should immediately start purchasing some stocks for myself before supplies run out.  Others probably have the same idea.

But that doesn't make me stop buying and using Evans drumheads.  Like what I said, I get what I pay for.  I go for quality.  Remos are great heads too.  I just like Evans better.  I don't mind adding a few hundred pesos for something that would help me perform and sound better.

A couple of months ago, I was in search of a 13" Evans snare head for my 13" Tama Artwood, whose stock head finally gave in.  Naubos ang stock ng Audiophile, and I felt quite disappointed.  Even JB/Salonga ran out of 13" Remo Ambassadors during that time.  Thank God my friend got a spare 13" Ambassador head, I bought it from him.

Distributors should realize na napakadaming drummers sa Pilipinas, that they should always have steady supplies of drumheads.  And they should bring in various models too!  Remo's Ambassador and Pinstripe heads may sell like hotcakes, but they should also bring in some Powerstrokes and Emperors and other special models.  I hope there are representatives from the music shops and distributors who are reading this.

nagpa-quote kasi ako sa lazer ng 2-ply nila

12" - P385
13" - P400
16" - P550

tapos ung encore na 14" is P355 sa jb. (mas mura sya sa lazer?)

does the "mas mahal, mas maganda" rule apply here? or go with encore?

patulong naman mga sir. salamat  :-D

"quality ng sound" depends on what you like

personally, i like the sound of double ply lazers for my toms, beats my pinstripes. some people will disagree with that and its fine by me, that's personal preference

right now, bilin mo na lang yung kaya mong ma afford

disposable naman ang heads e kaya hindi mo dapat pagsisihan, sooner or later papalitan mo rin sya. kung di mo sya nagustuhan ngayon e di bilin mo yung ibang brand pag nasira na  :-D

Title: Re: Drum heads or skin na mura at maganda?
Post by: peeves24 on April 17, 2007, 09:22:27 AM
kung may aquarian nga lang dito ayos na ayos yang 13" mo. pag tinatamad kasi ako, dala ko lang 8" snare, 10" na ginagawa kong floor tom at 18" bass. tono ko lang ng mababa yung 10" using aquarian double thin sa batter tapos aquarian classic clear sa reso. ang lalim ng tunog nun kayang tapatan yung 14" na floor tom pero kulang lang sa oomph liit kasi e.

may video ako nung gamit ko yung setup na yun, medyo di maganda yung audio pero dinig mo pa rin yung lalim nung mini floor tom. rip ko lang  :-D

snare - 14"
tom 1 - 12"
tom 2 - 13"
floor tom - 16"
bass - 22"

palitin na drum heads ko.

ask ko na rin kung paano mag tune nun. first time ko po.

bro, IMO, unahin mo snare, invest on a remo or evans batter head sa snare would cost around 600-800 remo coated ambassador.. estimate ko lang po.. sa evans, hindi ko lang alam.. hehe.. then ipon ka ulit.. sabay sabay mo bilhin yung 12 13 16 heads ng tom.. Remo pins if you like fat sound.. tas huli na yung Bass drum.. my two centimoz

Post by: bulog on August 03, 2007, 08:53:39 AM
Im having difficulty choosing a batter head for my PDP 850 snare.

Right now Im using it's stock heads, sabi nila REMO din daw me gawa nun. (don't know kung totoo).

I wanted to change kahit the batter head muna.

My snare is a 13 x 4 in.  And usually sa church ko ito ginagamit, mga Hillsongs type of music. Medyo me pagka Contemporary din.

Help naman kung anong magandang heads for this kind of genre and for this snare.

REMO or EVANS?  I think coated yung kukunin ko pero which brand and what model....medyo madami kasi. 

Thanks

Post by: daemonite on August 03, 2007, 11:38:29 AM
depende sa gusto mo brader....

pero evans heads works for me. naka 14" reverse power dot center ako and very flexible sya sa iba-ibang genre.... syanga pala naka 14" snare side hazy rin ako.... kaya ang lazer regal stock wood snare nagtutunog na maganda. hehehe. i was thinking of buying a custom-made picollo c/o peeves pero dahil sa time and availability and sa tunog na rin, nagbago isip ko, bili na lang ulit ako ng coated na evans para sa future picollo ko.... hehehe

Post by: bangbus on August 04, 2007, 01:23:01 AM
my preference and recommendation:

Remo for Toms: i.e. Emperor clear, Pinstripe clear [batter]; Ambassador [reso]

Evans for Snare: i.e. EC with dot, ST Dry vented [batter]; Hazy 200 [reso]

I decided to merge the "All About Drumheads thread" with this "Remo vs. Evans" thread.  I hope you don't mind, bro bulog.

Read the previous posts in this thread for further ideas and discussions.  There's an open poll above regarding drumhead brand preferences.    8-)

No prob po Sir drumster, di ko po kasi napuna itong thread na ito.

Hay...I bought REMO Coated Ambassador 13 in for 580 php.

Ang hirap pala maghanap ng EVANS heads. Out of stock sa Audiophile Alimall.  Naghanap din me sa RAON shops, meron sila puro clear and nasa 650 php lang, with box pa.

Pero coated kasi hanap ko, ung G1 sana pero, dahil wa na time to search, I go with REMO na lang.

Di ko pa lang po na install...maybe later after work, try ko muna kung mas okay tunog kaysa sa stock coated head ng PDP.

Totoo po ba na PDP heads are made by REMO din????

Thanks

good day sir.

is it ok to loosen the head's tension in each drum
kung medyo matagal hindi gagamitin, in short
itatago na muna. :-) or
just leave it that way na stretched yun mga heads.

If you prefer to loosen them before storing go ahead, there's nothing wrong with that; but also leaving them as is prolly won't damage it in anyway. :wink:

If you're not going to use your drum for a long time, I suggest that you detune/loosen the tension of the drumheads.  That should relieve some tension from the hoops and tension lugs.

I learned this the hard way.  There was this period of time when I didn't use my 14" Tama Starclassic snare.  I just kept it at home and left its tight batter tension.  After a couple of months, I decided to use that snare.  There I noticed that the tuning seemed weird, and I can't get the sound I want from it.  When I got home, there I discovered that my hoop got warped.  This is due to stress.  I can't believe it happened, considering that my snare is fitted with a die-cast hoop.  I had to order a new hoop for that drum.

may nafeel ako sa pagpalo ng Emperor X coated sa batter ko sa snare, pagnagmoeller ka parang minamagnet ng batter yung stick hindi siya masyado tumatalbog, naadjust ko naman siya sa tama na adjustment ng skin. maganda tunog niya pero yun nga lang hindi ko makuha yung desired ko na talbog. ok siya pang metal. mag aadjust ka nalang ng technique ulit para mapatalbog mo siya sa gusto mo hehehe.

Yep, Emperor X isa a nice option sa batter side. You get durability at the expense of overtones, which can be a good or a bad thing. Snare-side... stick to thin heads like Remo Snareside, Diplomat.. etc.

Pinstripes naman, it's good for indoor use or outdoor use OR outdoor use WITH close-miking. Good low sound, and the durability is there. Large venues are a no-no though, since to the audience, you'll get a dead sound.

The way I see it, using coated heads on the toms gives it warmth. That's why most people use coated on their snare batters.

I don't think there are coated Pinstripes locally though. If you want 2-ply coated heads, try Aquarians - the Super 2's and Performance 2's in particular. They're a bit more expensive locally (900 for a 10") , but they seem to be really good heads. (Based solely on the "tap-test" na pinagawa sakin sa store haha)

Opinion noted - after all, everybody has one. :-D

Share ko lang ang experiences ko sa Pinstripes. Iba ang "driver seat" sound nya sa "audience" sound. And ganun ang dating sakin ng Pinstripes. I was experimenting on miking my drumkit using condensers only, and the pinstripes weren't very good at cutting through. I was using a large-diaphragm Samson too. My PDP single-ply medium coated (which are cheap and underrated heads IMO) did a better job of opening up, but from the driver's seat, I had more overtones.

Also, does anyone remember how dead the floor tom in Mayrics' old house kit sounded? That was a Pinstripe. :lol:

Post by: paeng16 on September 14, 2009, 07:50:00 PM
solve na ako sa Remo men... ty for the info though..

for me..
Pag snare - Ambasador or Emperor X.
Toms/kick - Pinstripes

yung coated kasi eh..
1) hindi ko gusto yung tunog. parang ang lutong. (trabaho ng snare yung lutong diba!)
2) Madaling madumihan.

hard hitter "daw" ako sabi nila That is why hindi pa pinalalagyan ng mic yung drums pag may tugtog kami.. so maybe that is why bumagay yung pinstripes sakin.. nasa tuning na din yan men.. kung mababa (below sea level) ang pag ka tono ng pinstripe... eh mamamatay talaga ang tunog..

again, maybe it's just me... pero .. hope this helps..


edited..
kung indoor.. pwede na ang single ply na head eh... kasi sa bahay namin naka single head lang ako.. (for practice lang) sayang kasi kung ma losyang yung Pinstripes!  :-D :lol:

yup I agree sa pagiba ng tunog sa "driver seat" sa "audience" , this is also true with cymbals. Men ganyan din ako mag test.. and you can see from my previous post here at the board (specially sa cymbals) na I always stress na ...

Pakinggan nyo sa malapit, malayo, small room, big room.. para malaman nyo ang totoong tunog ng bibilhin nyo...  :-D

Since "technically" you've tried some recording tweaks... How come in most DVD concerts eh madami padin naka pinstripes?? (no flames men, and don't get the wrong impression!). All I am saying here is, trust the pro (hindi ako pro men. what I mean by pro's is like metallica, linkin' park, RHCP, slipknot,etc). And besides, sa recording or Miking ng set eh hindi naman involve masyado ang heads??!?!!  ang nag dadala nun eh yung mixing men. kahit PATAY ang sound ng heads eh pwede habulin sa mixer.. hmmm???!!!!?  :?

Pinstripes naman, it's good for indoor use or outdoor use OR outdoor use WITH close-miking. Good low sound, and the durability is there. Large venues are a no-no though, since to the audience, you'll get a dead sound.

Like I said in my post yesterday, Pinstripes are good for "close-miking". San ka ba naman nakakita ng concert lalo sa states na overhead condensers lang ang mics? The "pros" use a full close mic-ing setup, in addition to the overheads!

Don't get me wrong, I like the Pinstripe sound. Yan ang gamit ng acrylic toms ko ngayon. I'm just saying that every head has its boon and bane. Its strength and limitation. And even if I love how low my 'stripes sound, in some settings, I feel that I want my drums to open up a bit more. And it becomes all the more apparent in outdoor situations, or places where mic-ing is minimal or non-existent.

RE: Recording.. IMO, the heads have a lot to say about how your final sound will be. Also, it's easier to dampen excess overtones with an overly-ringy drum... ...than try to dig tone out of a dead drum. Kahit may outboard effects pa na naka-chain sa mixer.

Again, IMO lang lahat 'to ha. :lol:

last question.ano po mas magandang side head ng mga toms.mga diplomat po ba and clear?

Remo Ambassador Clears are good na. If you want to go the cheap route, try the Fernando Remoes na single ply. Around 180 pesos on average. If you want a step above, look for PDP clear single ply heads. Kahit yung medium with the coated ring, OK na yun. 300 pesos naman 'to. :-D

Regarding Aquarian prices, mas mahal ng around 100-200 ang Aquarian sa US Remo. But you have the option of Taiwan Remo Encore Pinstripes, which IMO are the same film with a slightly substandard ring-attachment technique. Much much cheaper though. Mga 300 ang 12".

Not sure if there are 22" Clear Ambs locally. Up to 16", sure na meron. Check mo sa JB. :lol:

As for Remo Encore - it's the same film as the Remo US heads. Yung mounting lang ng skin sa ring ang pinagkaiba ng US sa Taiwan. Ang available lang sa JB, Coated Ambassador and Pinstripes na Encore. Sound-wise, it's the same. Durability-wise, mas matibay yung Remo US of course - pero paniniwala ko, mauuna pang ma-dent or ma-wear-off yung head bago masira yung mounting ring. :lol:

Have to agree with sjon regarding pinstripe opinions. don't get me wrong, i love the pinstripe sound, but it doesn't open up the way a single ply head does. =)

and as for the micing. sorry paengman, the heads do say a lot for the drums sound with regards to the micing. :)

just my two cents.
Title: Re: all about DRUMHEADS thread
Post by: peeves24 on September 16, 2009, 01:45:51 AM
observation ko lang:

all heads 'open up' if tuned correctly for a specific drum. single ply heads give the impression of being more open because they have more high frequencies present because they are less muffled than pinstripes or other multicoated/multilayered heads

you cant put a pinstripe on a 2008 tama superstar tom and expect it to sound as huge as a 1970's ludwig floor tom. a head is incomplete without the shell, the hoops and everything else that makes up a drum.

kaya personal na opinion ko: its useless to argue about heads if you dont factor in the drum you will use it on. then there's also your personal bias and preferences which also makes it impossible for anyone to agree so lets agree to disagree :-D

I know exactly what you mean. another thing, I DO record drums in a studio. and I know stuff about post production and mixing. and also, I'm not saying you're wrong, its just that its too much of a hassle to do post production just to produce that DESIRED sound rather than just trying to tweak the heads and tuning of the drum.

and I've been to several professional recording studios that have dead-sounding drums, and they are planning to change their heads from thick ones, to single ply ones. case in point, AUDITIONS AUDIO SOLUTIONS, Katipunan QC. This a studio where SOP(yes, the GMA sunday concert show) records their tracks.

I don't know, it seems like you're the more experienced one on the field anyway. it's just my opinion. after all, im young and still not that experienced in drumming.


as you've said, no flames. just my two cents.

Yun, same pala kami ni bro drumachine. :lol: Parang ang hirap i-timpla ng tuning + muffling ng Ambassador sa bass drum. Either kweba or patay. :lol:  Kaya I tend to choose other heads sa bass. Pero yung snare and toms from 10" to 16"... I've had solid results with coated ambs.

RE:Lanyard. Pag 50% na nag-down, oorderin ko na. :-D

Hindi ko sasabihing "hindi okay" kasi sakin lang naman di gumana.

But there was this Remo Ambassador on a 22" Premier Cabria Bass with minimal muffling in a rehearsal studio we frequented. Sarap tumunog! So yes, kahit ano naman pwede eh. Preference lang talaga. Para san pa ang 22" size ng Coated ambs, diba?:lol:

Hmm. Mura din naman Encore na Pinstripe eh. Or kung gusto mo pa ng choices, meron ring PDP! May coated sila, may clear with coated rings, etc.

Pinstripes? Yep. Yung PDP, hinde. Although may konting muffling yung single clears nila with coated rings. Not sure kung may double-ply clears sa Lyric.

IMO, ma-overtones sa toms (at least sa old kit ko), pero buhay. Very warm, very resonant.

Sa bass drum naman... hindi ko mapatunog ng maayos yung Ambassador. :lol:

Mga Sir, try ninyo yung Super Kick Series ng Aquarian... when you install it, take out everything inside the bass drum and tanggalin nyo rin kung may muffling kayong nakadikit sa resonant head.  plugged or unplugged, ayos yung tunog!  Madali pa itono at sobrang tibay! (sa aking exprience po)

Yup nangyari sakin twice on a 14" coated ambassador..

One of the reasons besides sound quality, why nag switch ako to Evans, won't go back to Remo ever again :lol:

I've had three Coated Ambassadors on different snares, and an Evans Genera Dry. They say heavy hitter ako, pero di pa 'ko nakakapunit. Lagi lang worn out yung coating sa middle portion ng Ambs ko.

Kaya that picture is rather surprising. :lol:

As far as I know...

The Remo Weatherking Ambassadors in JB are all US-made. It's only the Encore Ambassadors which are made in Taiwan.

Matagal nang may Evans ang JB. :-D Pero mas marami atang models (Black, Hydraulics) ang Audiophile, at least yung branch sa MoA.

About worn-out coated ambs, OK lang naman eh. As long as you don't dent the thing. A coated ambassador with the coating removed will (I'm guessing) sound like a clear ambassador - which is used din naman for toms. Difference lang siguro is medyo translucent yung actual film ng coated. :lol:

saan na napunta yung mga music store sa Timezone ng SM north? haha! pumunta akong Annex eh hindi ko maikita.
Balak ko na bumili ng bagong skin para sa metal sanre ko. hehe. Black hydraulics o Clear pinstripe? yoko kasi ng super over tone eh kaya mas matimbang sakin yung pinstripe. Pero may instances, gusto kong bumili ng ambassador. hehe.
anu kayang better pang reso side na?

Post by: mylesthedrummer on November 02, 2009, 09:53:54 AM
Mga sir, a couple of things po.

1) Always be careful with the heads you buy. check them first.
    - Went to Audiophile Manila. I was gonna buy Hazy 300's and Power center for my snare. Yung coating ng power center mejo may tama at tanggal na. Audiophile is a great store. Hindi na nila kasalanan pero minsan meron talaga lumulusot an deffective items.

2) Tanong ko lang, meron na ba Emperor heads for snares dito? CS may nakita ako pero pang 13" lang.

THanks!
