I love coated emperors. (snare only). For toms I like evans G2's with ring baflers (remo rings). For the bass drum I used (my kit was in a fire I don't own one anymore) some equarian head that had a thick felt ring and was a double thick head- never had to use any sort of pillow or blanket with it (the head was dead as fuck) the only downside to those bassdrum heads was the price, they ran around $50 usd witch is pretty exspensive for a bass drum head.

Aquarian Superkick II on the batter side of the kick. Massive punch.
