Not the product, but the service at PMT has been appalling. A month after buying this, I’m told there’s a 2-3 wait for it from the supplier.

I put these heads on my Tama Starclassic B/B drums before I really knew what sound I was going for and they immediately replaced the factory G1 clears that were on the bottom. Now, as a great standard reso head, the G1 is already the go to head for many, including me. But I've found with this head on my toms, sized 8", 10", 12" and 16" diameters, they all speak clearly and with an open tone and get out of the way. This innovation reminds me of comparing a fast crash to a standard crash. You still get the initial attack, power and a pure tone when you hit it, but the fast aspect creates a sooner decay like a smoothly tapered studio gate. And it's not a dead shortened ring like the hydraulics create on some toms. For me these heads are great and I've got nothing but ... MoreI put these heads on my Tama Starclassic B/B drums before I really knew what sound I was going for and they immediately replaced the factory G1 clears that were on the bottom.

And it's not a dead shortened ring like the hydraulics create on some toms. For me these heads are great and I've got nothing but compliments on my drum's tuning and the sound of these in recordings is amazing, just controlled enough to require little editing. Lastly, batter heads are an important factor so I will mention that mine are UV1s, a great combo with these resos and while I did first miss some of the open depth of my stock G2s over G1s, I feel the warmth and controlled sustain brings the best out of my drums in a way that those original clear heads, muffled or not, can't. Bottom line, this is another excellent Evan's product worth a try, with the proper tuning you won't be disappointed.

Using coated heads as a resonant head is nothing new. It's been done very effectively by many great players. I own a maple kit with 6 ply toms cut with a 45 degree bearing edge. My sizes range from 6 to 14. My batter heads consist of Evans G2 clears. Typically, I have used Evans Genera Resonant clears on the bottom of my toms. However, I have found that combination of heads to produce a sound a bit bright with too much sustain for my taste as of late. The coated Reso 7's work perfectly as described. With the 360 technology, the heads seat easily to the drum and tune up quickly. The sound is warm and with the thinner head, you get the response needed from a bottom head. The sustain is natural but effectively muffled allowing more of the attack sound to come through ... MoreUsing coated heads as a resonant head is nothing new.

The sustain is natural but effectively muffled allowing more of the attack sound to come through the drum. Also, my shell depths are not that deep. The 6 inch tom is only 5 inches in depth while the 14 inch suspended tom is 9 inches in depth. The 8, 10, and 12 inch toms are only an inch in difference being 6 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches respectively. The shallow depths along with my higher tuning preference is where these Reso heads work for me. I prefer for my toms to sing and not sound too muddled. Too much sustain from the resonant heads can cause quick stickings I like to do on my larger toms to not be as clear as I like them to be heard.
