The Asian wood is not as hard as North American wood so there's a lack of clarity in the resonance but in my opinion, it could of been due to the stock factory heads from mainland China which use inferior poly film compared to let's say, Remo UT (Taiwan) or Remo UK (Korea) from Remo's Taiwan factory. After checking inventory and availability online, I'm finding this configurations as shown as "discontinued" at the "Big Box Stores". One big plus, these are lacquered finished shells and look amazing in person. I'd defiantly consider snagging one of these kits since I can't afford the SC series.
