that is a popular head for what you want, it would prolly sound really good with your deep thin maple snare. my tama starclassic g-maple 6X14 came with an evans hd dry head and it did not work for me on that particular drum. alot of people with the 8" version like it. i like an open sound and the g-maple is 13 ply wich takes away alot of overtones. i swiched to my ol' standard single ply coated g1.
again i'm weird about this, but i think that a drum in your size has a ton of sonic possibilities that can only be brought out by a 1 ply head. i takes playing and tuning with a little different awareness to keep it under control but once you do it is totally worth it.
