hmm, that's an interesting idea. I'll keep it in mind. Especially the idea of muffling the resonance heads. I'll also have to look at the fibreskins. Thanks for the suggestion!

Rimshot,
Have you used the Renaissance heads? Remo also claims that they are like calf skin. I was just wondering how they compare to the Fiberskyns.

No, I haven't tried the Renaissance heads yet, I'll have to. I'm pretty well stocked up on Fibreskin 3's, Ambassador coateds and Pinstripes, but I'm always looking for more options. I recently switched to Evans EMAD external dampening head for my kick batter and I'm loving it. I've taken the pillow out of my kick and I get the right tone with all the resonance of the shell. A sound engineer thought he could hear a slight vibration from the dampening ring but it didn't translate to the recording. This is a real good option that I strongly reccommend.
BTW you will lose a bit if volume with the Fibreskins but you gain a really nice, warm, fat sound.

What do you guys think of evans hydraulics? Thats what I have on my live kit now, are they good to record with?

Thats actually interesting that you bring hydraulics up. I've always felt that they were waaaay to dead sounding - great for live but for recording delivers that "cardboard box" sound.
However, I was lurking on the Evans forum at their website a while back and there were A LOT of guys singing the praises of the all-new, redesigned hydraulics. So apparently, they are better than they used to be but I would still be wary of any two-ply head with oil between the plys.
