What heads do you like??

I have an older (70's) Ludwig kit and its time to change out the heads.

I only run one head on the 2 rack toms and may do so with the floor tom.

What do you like for your skins??

Remo. Look up what Bonham used. Your kit, if it's a 70's Ludwig, has that vibe and would sound great with Bonham's setup. Hard to go wrong with that drum sound!

Cute kid. Your terms made it sound like you were talking about drug paraphenalia. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Dead **** kit... shame it isn't one rack and two floor toms though, you'd have the whole Bonham vibe even more. I'll stand by my original suggestion google the heads Bonham used and use them, I've also seen a tutorial somewhere on how he tuned his heads to get that sound... a classic kit like that deserves to be kept "original!"

My two personal favorite drummers also use Remo, Carter Beauford and Jimmy Chamberlin

"Dead..what"??

What do you think about the Remo Pin Stripes for the 2 rack toms?? Remember I am only using one head on the 2 rack toms....did not care for the sound, decay, ect with the 2 heads...

best bet is to go to a guitar center (or whatever) and test some.

I' use and prefer Aquarion Studio X heads

Dead smexy, haven't bothered to figure my way around the filter here.

I can't really make suggestions as far as not using resonant heads... neither my son or I have done so. I honestly would do the Bonham setup though, and tune according to the guide that is out there on the internet. I bet that kit would sound KILLER!
