My usual go-to head setup for metal/hard rock:
Top Snare
- Remo Controlled Sound (more attack, open sound - my go-to)
- Remo Powerstroke 3 (more "thunk," less ring and sustain)
Bottom Snare
- Remo Ambassador SS or Evans Hazy 300
Toms
- Evans EC2 clear (for more attack/body, less sustain/ring)
- Evans G2 clear (for more of a singing "note" in the sound)
Kick
- Remo Powerstroke 3 clear (for more punch/less low end "boom")
- Evans EMAD clear single-ply (for more low end "boom" and less attack)
