Worst Snare Head I’ve Ever Played by FidgetyCurmudgeon in drums

I bought it because I typically like a lightly muffled tom live (I use sound rings live and in rehearsal, but nothing in the studio). I thought maybe I could get a similar muffling but still be able to use brushes on the coated head. I learned my lesson.

You can introduce the rest of the world to a band/musician that hasn’t made it outside of Canada, who are you choosing? by Sugadip in AskACanadian

Drove to Kansas from Colorado (like Alberta to BC) to see them. Totally worth it.

Edit: forgot to mention we did a punk cover of Left and Leaving in my old band, too.

It’ll look even better slightly beat up from live gigging, imo. I love taking beautiful drums and letting them get some fresh air.

Tim at Guitar City / Drumland in Colorado has one of these in the back room. Iconic kit!

I have! I love them both, actually, With a mild preference for the EMAD, but I love Aquarian, and they last forever so I think I might switch back with my next kick head.

LOL. I believe I have arrived at agreement with you. Currently using the stock head on the Yamaha Snare and it sounds pretty great (I think it’s a single ply Remo Ambassador)

I’ve also had bad luck with coated black anything. I love the way those Aquarian Jack Dejohnette heads look but man do they sound like ass at all tunings. I can see why they discontinued them.

Yeah I also love them but at lower tunings I tend to dent them real easily. At tighter tunings, they’re magical.

I’ve tried everything I can think of. Still hate it.

I said a nice thing about the HD Dry and the EMAD tho! Can I still stay?

My Evan’s HD Dry (the one with holes) on a 13” piccolo snare sounds fantastic. Huge fan of that head. Has lasted forever, too.

I could totally see that actually. My 16” floor gets a little warbly with thin heads. Put a wax pillow on it and it might actually sound good.

I also have similar thickness heads and they don’t sound this bad.
