Re: Calling on Evans Head Users
For a jazz sound I would use one of the following on the bass- Emad Clear will give you some decent attack and durability but will lack a little in sustain and tone. If you want a little more tone and sustain and slightly less attack and durability then a G2 coated or clear will be nice.
For toms- a G1 coated or clear will give you plenty of sustain and tone but not as much attack and durability and a G2 coated or clear will give you a nice balance of tone, sustain, attack, and durability.
This is just my opinion. I switched from Remo and Aquarian to Evans a few years ago and I have yet to find a head that performs and sounds better.
My drum shop allows and encourages drummers to bring in drums and cymbals for comparison. Would you be able to spend a couple hours, maybe, in the shop comparing heads? I agree that buying two or three bass heads may be a little impractical and most shops also know this.
