    This one will be the reference on UA-cam. Unbelievable, how much work you put into this: 32 different drum heads x 4 Toms x 3 Tunings = 384 times changing a drum head!! 😳 You changed more drum heads for one video than some drummers do in their whole career. Mindblowing. Thanks ever so much!

  • @DynamicRockers

    For open tones I prefer the Ambassador Coated and black suede, for shorter sustain I prefered the pinstripe clear, they have a good balance. I was very surprised about how dead the Powerstroke 4 sounded, huge contrast with the ambassador playing before. Thanks for saving us time and money AOD !

  • @geoffreydlang
    @geoffreydlang 3 місяці тому +5

    This is a great demo, and very helpful to anyone shopping for new heads
    Drumheads are very pricey and this kind of preview goes a long way into taking the guesswork out of choosing the *right* heads for someone’s needs, without wasting money on the wrong ones.
    To take this concept further, I’d love to see a demo comparing similarly-constructed heads from different manufacturers i.e. Remo clear Emperors with Evans clear G2 heads, Aquarian Response 2 clear, etc., at various tunings.
    Thanks for this!

  • @1dudecrush
    @1dudecrush 3 місяці тому +1

    This makes me wanna try a weird combo, like Renaissance emperors over top of Renaissance ambassador resonant side. Medium tuning so as not to kill the resonance, but the double Renaissance would provide a weird fuzzy diffusion of the sound, kinda pillowy yet defined attack.

    It was hard to tell because there were so many options, but I think I like both the ambassadors and the emperors in medium and low tunings and in the suede and coated finishes. I also thought the ambassador vintage an emperor vintage sounded good in the low tunings. The ambassador fiberskin had a cool tone as well.
