Re: Begginer Questions
Hey Tragesty, Welcome to Drum Chat!!
The upgrade to your cymbals was a good one, and what's important is how the kit sounds to YOU, not to anyone else! Believe me I started with crappy no name cymbals many years ago, and was happy just to have some piece of crap to hit!
The heads you're referring to are excellent heads. They should wear well for you, and that's the first thing that's important. You can't afford to be replacing heads every week or month (and neither can I).
The tone of the drums is influenced primarily by the wood, the construction, the number of plies, and the tuning. What you'll notice the most is that you'll have a more "controlled" sound, instead of a lot of vibration and resonance. Your bass drum will THUMP instead of sounding like a vibrating piece of thick paper. Good heads and good tuning bring out and enhance the natural tone of the drums.
Once you get the heads and get them tuned up, let us know how much difference you hear. I will guarantee you'll be very pleased.
