I think the DW heads sound and feel great. They also look rather cool, and Neil Peart uses them so double bonus. Made by remo!
Anyone use them on non DW kits?

I've been using Remo for almost my entire drumming life, but currently use the Evans heads that came on my Starclassic Maple and they are just fine. They both offer exactly the same variety of heads.
I will say though, if I knew nothing about either brands lineup of heads and was coming in with a fresh perspective, I would say that the Evans seem to be easier to understand because of how they name them. Using a G1 for the resonant head and G2 on a batter is easier to remember than say a Diplomat on the reso and Emperor or Pinstripes on the batter.
I use coated Aquarian single plys on the snare and toms and Super Kick 1 (batter) and Regulator (front) on the bass.
Life's too short to play the same solo twice. Improvise!
