Ok, I put these heads on my toms about 2 weeks ago. I've always been a non-coated guy, but I'm hesitant to say I'm tired of looking for that perfect head that makes your toms sound low, without the O-rings or moon-gel, that's clear. So, me being a guy who likes to try out stuff, I bought the 10,12,14,16" tom heads and the aquarian coated super-kick III not II, III (it sounds emaculate, buy it) I love the way my 10, and 12" sound, no O-rings, but, when it came to my 14 and 16",I only "like" the way they sound, and I had to put the O-rings on them, not because I can't tune, but because I just like the low end, and no other sound im my toms. But I hate O-rings because they rattle, and in a recording studio, it's no beuno, and moon-gel just makes them sound like your hitting paper, so... I'm going to put non-coated heads on the 14 and 16", because I like the way sound a little like bass in a rap song, and see how that works. Also I have to tune and re-tune these less than a non-coated head, have no idea why though. But I hope I answered some of your thoughts and concerns.

at the results i had with this as a snare batter. i use the clear version of this head on my toms and love them and have had the coated as a piccolo snare batter, so obviously i tried this as the head on my main snare. i was shocked to hear such an awkward pitch of overtones. and later on my piccolo snare i changed the snare side to a hazy ambassador and had a similar problem. these heads dont work very well as snare batters when paired with hazy remo ambassadors, so be warned

These heads pull out from the edges. I use one for 14" snare. I do not even tune real high preferring a deeper sound. The sound is very good easy to get a good sound without overtones. Used to have the same problem with Evans heads tearing from the edge. Guess I'll have to switch back to the classic Remo Ambassador if only for quality reasons.

These heads are amazing. They make your toms growl, and require little tuning or dampening. But of course they're going to break if you put them on a snare. They're a medium weight-single ply head. I would get something with a power dot or something 2 ply for that, seeing as how the snare is arguably the drum you strike the most. I have used clear studio x and coated remo heads on my toms, and these are waaaaay better in terms of tone and ease of tuning. They make crappy drums sound awesome.

I work at at a studio and have used these on the house drum set, which 99% of the time I'm the one playing. I have used them because they sound great and tune up easily, but they break a LOT. I don't play hard at all- low to med volume on a 13" snare. The one I have now will be my last. They break at the bearing edge when they go... and I've been through 3. I'm switching brands. A bit disappointing because the mic's love this head...
