Unfortunately, the heads are one piece of drum gear you can’t scrimp on. ‘The heads maketh the drum…’, etc. Fortunately, unless they’re made of gold, heads aren’t going to break the bank. Try Evans’ G-Plus…
MusicRadar’s verdict:
“G-Plus are a clear cut above most heads on the market, let alone 2008's offerings. Warm, rich and durable, these skins cut through live situations like a knife while providing an almost pre-EQ'd quality for the studio. They're a revelation, seriously…” (Via: The best drum gear of 2008)
“The Evans G-Plus drum single-ply tom heads are a revelation in design that live up to every claim the manufacturer makes about tone, sustain and durability. These aren't just mere heads, they're instruments in their own right. Whatever you're currently using, do yourself a favour and give these outstanding heads a try.” (Via: Evans G-Plus coated drum heads full review)
