The best there ever was and will be. Our favorite all around snare batter and tom batter or resonant head. Use on top of another coated ambassador and get a super natural drum sound, use as a resonant head on a tom with a double ply batter head for a warm low tuning option or play as a batter snare for the purest snare tone possible. one of our go-to heads for many applications. We also suggest using one of these if you are new to a drum. it will show you a lot of the tru characteristics of a drum giving you an even gauge to decide to go for a lighter or heavier drum head for another application.
