[QUOTE="Murph:949196"]I'm sort of on the opposite spectrum of things. On my toms I use Vintage A Remo heads, which I feel really bring out the warm tones of the wood, and suit the style of music we play perfectly. On my bass drum, I use a coated Ambassador on the kick side, and a Fiberskyn Ambassador on the batter side. I also only have a small handtowel (which I might remove) inside, to soak up a tiny amount of the overtone. For some drummers, this set-up is not ideal because they are looking for brighter sounds, but it totally depends on the music. Cymbal choices are also key, as I play mostly dark wash cymbals (K and Dream) which work well with the warmth of the drums. The main point in the sonic element is to find what type of articulation you're looking for, and matching those heads with the natural sound of your drum (each drum has its own "natural" sound). Then of course, tuning becomes an issue. In my case, I've always tuned my drums as close to Solfege as possible, without taking away from the perfect pitch of the drum. Because I use only two toms, I go for the Do-Do tuning, using D standard (when I'm not lazy as shit). I tend to keep the rack tom a little bright, because of my head and wood choices, but the floor tom stays real low. IDK, I feel it is more of a singular, personal science than anything, but Jim is right...the best idea is to learn as much as you can about a kit you've played on...might want to email the band or something.[/QUOTE]
