What Heads Should I Use?

[SteveCPerrino]

hey, I'm currently buying a new drum set and I obviously wanted to replace the factory heads...but I don't know what to get :/.

I record mostly metal/hardcore and punk, what heads would be best for this? Or does genre not really matter?


Thanks!

Your ears are what matter, but you're gonna want something that will cut through the noise. What are the shells made of?

My favorite heads for rock are coated emperors on the toms and coated CS Dot on the snare, all made by Remo.

You may do well with clear emperors on the toms instead.
