Maple Kit
Best Drumheads for a fat wet sound?

I’ve been listining to some emmure and I love the sound of his kit but I wanderd what heads were the best to get that sound especially for bass. I’ve been using remo Pinstripes and I haven’t been getting the sound I want and I’ve been looking into diff heads like evans or aquariun but especially Evans BD22 Hydraulic Glass,
Evans Hydraulic Blue Tom Batter, and Cutaway
Evans Hydraulic Glass Drum Head
But I also checked out the
Aquarian Performance II Power Dot Drumhead
So could a more experienced drummer help me out My kits a tama imperialstar but I have ordered a mapex maridian maple kit so I can’t wait XD

Hi
Drum was my first instrument and worked in the music industry 20 years. When the pin strip came out , we used to sell tons of them although they were too expensive.
But when Evans introduced their colored hydraulic heads, we never got enough and always sold out. If you like the John Bonham sound, he used hyraulics on his Transparent Ludwig drum. The sound was big and fat.

But Evans are in my opinion, one of the top notch company who know their stuff. As for the Mapex maple kit. My drummer has one in the studio. Now….!!!! That Mapex is by far one of the best sounding snares I have heard , let alone the rest of the drumset.

He uses Evans hydraulic because they do not echo and produce a clean sound with no bad overtones. They are easier to tune as well. In the studio, it makes a difference in the recordings because you actually hear the sweet tone of the maple wood.
