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.

The Pearls are nice; I don't have a huge amount of experience with them but they look to be made well and I have heard them on ocassion. Do you play at all now? Practice? I have always sort of kept my hand in so to speak but now my son is getting older and not requiring my services as much so I am gearing up to maybe do something in the future. I started practicing about a year ago seriously and soon I am starting lessons with Jeff Indyke. Ever hear of him; he has this drum show every sunday night on public access TV. It's on channel 20 here I don't know what it is up there. He's a pisser, strange dude. It's been so long since I actually had to learn new beats and techniques that it will be much faster with some help. I am trying out the Moeller Method; sound familiar? It is easier on your arms and arthritis ridden joints.Yeah; this weather is fine ain't it? The last two winters were rough; all that white stuff. So a little TV ehh? I just saw Syriana tonight; not too shabby compared to whats been out there lately.
