Best drum heads as rock music included drum

Over the years and has already gone through hundreds (if not thousands) of the drum heads between replacing them on my personal Kit and install them on a custom drum sets which builds. Some of the heads of the drum are impressed me some and stayed on my set of weeks, but other heads of the drum are to come after my drum set them a few hours of play. This position will show you popuscic what the heads of the drum, which I have been generally trusted in the years to provide me with sound, which makes the engineers. I also sk ± (d) the advantages and disadvantages of each head, and my priorities in how to tune each drum.

My current preferences in heads of the drum for my Kit:

Keep in mind I play mostly rock/pop/Funk.

Snare: Ambassador Remo coated drum Head + Remo Ambassador Snare Head of fog

Advantages: Fairly cheap almost always in store on any online music store, is brilliantly tuned low and finely tuned, high, very articulate, even in the case of notes Duch.
Disadvantages: 1 Ply drum Head can dent easily for heavy hitters, and can be replaced more often.
Tune My tuning: settings both batter and resonant heads to the same pitch, I tried to tune them high enough to give me a mid-range "fracture", as well as giving me response good Memory stick. At the head of a resonant tune LUG near Snare wires, approximately 2 enables deeper than the rest of the head. This allows the Snare wires holding of more sharp and clean snap and snap Snare dowieziono more when you play Ghost notes.

Toms: Remo Emperor Drumheads Tom (the batter side) + Remo Ambassador Drumheads Tom (resonant side)

Advantages: Fairly cheap almost always available in every store more, simplicity in construction timbers drum heads allow properties of bearing edge and wood type references is not obscured by the sound power of dots or rings on the other heads of the drum sound Great tuned in high and low, clear heads adds brightness to Your toms cut range.
Cons: brushes do not use very often, but of course you have coated heads for each brush work.
My tune: each has its own sweet spot to Tom that the drum will resonate at best. I'm trying to find this place sweet and tweak the two heads of the drum for this spring. What does it mean by the "sweet spot" is the tune, which produces the most complete sound without buzzing/flabbiness (because it prevents too loosely) or choked out of tintiness (because it prevents too tight). For my toms detect generically here sweet "just above your finger strained" tuning.

Bass Kick Drum: Evans EMAD2 clear bass drum head with the larger outer ring muffling (the batter side) + Remo Fiberskyn 6 "sound holes (resonant side) Evans drum only inside fittings that come in front of the head of the bass.

Pros: Tons of attack, as well as the low end, extremely easy to EQ during mic'ed up.
Disadvantages: Emad plastic ring that holds the external dampening cracks and always ends with rattlin and eventually you'll either need to tape the ring on the unexpected or completely replace the head drum. You will have to cut your own sound hole Remo Fiberskyn (if you choose to cut a hole) which can be somewhat challenging if your not used in this manner. Fiberskyn is somewhat more difficult to find in store at music stores.
My tune: tune the front of the head where there are no wrinkles, with a moderately strained tuning across the head. Tune strained finger Emad and try to keep out wrinkles (but sometimes it is ok to still have a slight Wrinkle, you judge depending on how it sounds) and Emad Pillow (or towel or small blanket) inside the drum, where only touch the front of the resonate head. Without the cushion of a tangent line at the front of the head'll ringy tone, standing just enough dampens to let the kick punch you in the chest as it should.

I know someone of you reading this will be with me in such a way when it comes to the drum head selection and welcomes comments and rebukes. I'd love to know what are your favorite drum heads and why.
