I'm assuming you're going for a muffled/isolated tone with the pinstripes?
If that's the case then I think the coated G1's would be best in the Evans department. Coated G2's resonate very little and take away tons of overtone as a reso. I don't know what to tell you about Remo.

sorry, im still rusty on skin tones and all that. im actually looking for a more opened sounding skin.
My pick for a reso head would be a clear Ambassador. IMHO you don't need anything heavier on the bottom to dampen the sound if you're looking to put on the pinstripes on top. Blessings....

the words pinstripe and open sounding dont really go together. for the "open" sound you want single ply coated like ambs or g1s for batters and clear 1 ply resos.
