Discussion Equipment Advice

4 Upvotes

Hey guys!

My director recently approached me about some equipment for next year, and I wanted your advice.

Currently, we use Pearl's CarbonCore FFX drums (currently around six years old, got during Covid). We use Evans hybrid heads with the bottom MX5's. Our tenors use the Evans TCX heads, and basses use Remo PowerMax's (all drums use white heads, besides tenors, which are clear, besides the two spocks).

I'm kind of thinking of recommending the following:

  1. Snares: Remo Black Max and Clear Ambassador and maybe utilizing a sound projector on each drum (scoop)

  2. Tenors: Remo Clear Pinstripes

  3. Basses: Remo ebony PowerMax's 2

Any advice, thoughts, comments? I want our snares to have a higher/wetter snare sound.
