What are your preferred drumheads? I dig clear Remo Emperors, and can't stand Evans. Thoughts?

I like Remo Coated Pinstripes. My set seems to do a heavier, meatier rock sound better than anything else, so I tune my toms low with the coated pinstripes and slap a small amount of tape, and they sound pretty dull, good for pounding fills. I also use a coated pinstripe on my snare, and tune it up pretty high.

Be My Head:
Yeah, oh yeah, well...oh, uh. Shit.
Steve Gadd AND Vinnie Colaiuta?
Incidentally, the best thing Steve Gadd ever did was with Simon & Garfunkel.

I still have a thing for simple, minimalist kits and equipment. That was my favorite John Bonham feature: with four cymbals, four drums, a single bass pedal, and his bare hands he made magical, magical noise. Bass triplets on one foot= my favorite thing ever.
Be My Head:
Greg Saunier (Deerhoof) is the most minimalist drummer I've ever seen...I was lucky to be about 3 metres from him when they played at a show here a couple years ago.
He played with a bass drum, snare drum, floor tom, ride cymbal, and hi-hat
I'm in doubt you would like Deerhoof, but, you might like Greg Saunier, he just kind of spazzes away at the drums and does some stuff I, to this day, don't know what he was doing.
