I'm assuming by the name G2 Reso that those heads were designed to be reso heads, this may be the way to go. I have heard a lot of great things about G2s. I am still using my stock Ludwig heads for my reso heads and they sound fine. I have been messing around with different tuning and DW suggests that you tune both top and bottom heads to the same pitch. I tried that with my floor toms and they are quite thunderous without too much over-ring. I have been reading the Drum Tuning Bible and it's a lot of info to digest, but I really want to get my drums to sound the best so I am going to read all of it--eventually.

On my Recording Customs, I use 2 combinations:
EC2 batter / G2 Clear Reso - Live
G2 Coated batter / G2 Clear Reso - Recording
My tone sounds NOTHING like hitting grocery bags. It's all in knowing how to tune your drums for the tone and sustain you're looking for. My drums are mic'd up at most every gig, and at small venues not mic's up I still have great projection & sustain....again all in the tuning.
Could I have a little more sustain with a G1 one on bottom, of course? But I have plenty of sustain now, plus a punch on every tom (8/10/12/14/16) that can't be had with the single plies.
What does the Powersonic bass head sound like? Is it more "boom" or more "thud" with a medium mid-range?htjdrummer":2p8f6xg3 said:Coated Emperor Batters, Suede Ambassador for resonants on my 12" & 13" and Coated Ambassador on my 16" Floor tom.
