I really do want to experiment with evans, they offer many very cool options i would like to explore. And a few years after that, i was talking to a teacher i had, and he told me he had a similar experience: that remo sounds decent for a very very long time, while evans stuff sounds AMAZING for a bit, then just have a very steep decay in sound quality. The band teacher told me to go grab whatever heads i wanted for the kit, and he would pay me back, so i got a set of coated G1s.Ībout 2 weeks in, they sounded like absolute crap, just horrible. When i was in high school, there were coated ambassadors on the toms of the school kit, and even when they were beat to crap crap crap they still resonated, and actually sounded alright. In my experience, remo heads seem to sound pretty decent forever, pretty much till they are destroyed.
If both remo and evans use the same film, where do the sonic differences come from between a clear G1 and a clear ambassador, seeing as there is no coating, which may differ between the companies? I have used remo in the past, as has everyone. I have not really used evans too much, it is almost twice the price of aquarian where i live. I understand that aquarian uses a different film, something they call nu-brite?īut when it comes to evans and remo, i have heard from a few places that both use the same supplier for their mylar? is this true?
