Brands of Drumheads

I have played on Remo, Aquarian, and Evans drumheads and have liked them all. They are all a little different and you have to try different ones in order to find what you like. I recommend talking to the staff at your local music store.

For jazz, you would do well to use Remo Ambassadors, which are one-ply coated heads. For rock, you might want to go with a two-ply clear head that is very durable from Evans. On my own drum set, I have one-ply Evans coated heads, and I love them. But in the past, when I was playing more math/prog/alt rock, I loved the thick Aquarian two-ply coated heads. I think they came with a built-in muffling ring as part of the head.
