I had to buy a new Bass Drum Batter head today. I use Remo Pinstripes but I am looking for a deeper/whiter and a little dryer sound so I went in to Sam Ash to speak to one of the sales reps.
There were four salesguys in there and two other drummers. I poked around a bit then I asked the salesguy if he had a solution to my needs.
I said, " Any chance you know of a head that plays a little deeper; whiter and dryer than a remo pinstripe, I need more tone on my bass for Jazz."
He never skipped a beat; "Evans G2's". He said. The other salesman piped up; and agreed.
Now remmember I asked for a higher; dryer; whiter sound; with more tone.
Two salesmen and one of the other customers all chose the same head. Now how the heck do you think they knew that?
BTW; perfect fit, just what I needed.
No measuring devices in sight.
They must know something we audiophiles don't.
