Remo Powerstroke III or Aquarian Full Force I

I'm about to buy a new bass drum batter and could really use your guys opinions.

Thanks

What sound are you looking for? What style(s) do you play? Is this for recording, Live or both? Do you stuff a pillow inside or not? A felt on the reso head? What size bass drum? What depth? Maple? Birch? Is there a hole in the resonant head? Do you bury the beater when you play? Are you a hard hitter? Heel up or down? Am I asking too many questions?

My point is: there are a number of factors to consider here. Your poll choices are all good for different things.

In our studio, we've mostly been using the Superkick I Bass drum pack and we love the sound and feel we get without any internal muffling. Depends on what you're going for though.

By the way, if you said other I'd appreciate if you'd take a moment to specify. Thanks
