Hey fellow drummers it's my first post here. I recently purchased a Tama Silverstar Metro-Jam because I wanted something small and portable. ( I am a college student and living in a small apartment.) As usual I need to replace the stock heads but I was wondering on your opinion for a head configuration for the whole set. I'm kinda OCD so I like all my heads to be the same company (I'm the same with cymbals/drums/gear). At the moment I am not able to go test out different configuration in person so I am seeking your advice.

As far as tone is concerned, I play all styles from rock, jazz, country, metal, hip hop, ect. So, I want a good versatile drum heads. A good cracking snare, clear bright toms, and a punchy bass drum with as much low end as possible. The drums are all birch and I use wood tip sticks and a plastic beater on my bd pedal.

If you could give suggested batter and resonant heads for each drum that would be great. Sizes: 14x16 BD, 6.5x10 TT, 11x13 FT, and 5x12 SD.


Thanks a lot for your insight guys!
