Heads

[tilinmyowngrave]

Are the Attack Thin SKin 2 Ply Black drum heads hydraulic? Or do they sound more like sinhgle ply since they r "thin skinned"? What other good heads are there that are durable but sound like single ply?

[I M Green]

Clear Remo Emperors.

LOL, a 2ply black head that sounds like a single ply...

Anyway, i'd suggest either (like the other guy) Clear emps or Smooth white emps/ambs.

The attack heads are the worst sounding heads I have ever heard. Not just inappropriate for my needs, I couldn't find anything that these sounded good on for any purpose.

K Then I'll stick with Evans. I prefer them over Remo.

Whats wrong with remo?

Unless your talking about how the coating apparnatly wears off quicker than other brands..

The only "hydraulic" heads on the market as far as I know, are the Evans Oilheads - but isn't that a misnomer? They have some kind of oil between the two layers of head - that is why they are so dead.

I haven't tried Attack heads, but I have heard decent things about their "clear coated" heads - I don't think they actually make them anymore - they are the "DW" heads with the white coating ring on them.

I'm still partial to clear Pinstripes. I guess once you get a sound you like, you just stick with it.

My drum set has Attack Heads on rack toms, and pinstripe on floor tom. I like Evans G2's way better.
