Replaced the stock heads on my new set of Ludwigs and the improvement is outstanding! The snare has improved attack and pitch with reduced overtones. That goes double for the toms! Vastly better tone from them with these heads. Combine these with Evans EC resonant heads and you will hear a distinct difference for the better. Highly recommended!

These are the true all-arounders when it comes to drum heads; batters or resonant heads, these'll get the job done. They have great response, a round yet defined edge, and a tone and sustain that simply sings. I bought a set of these as batters for my set and even before I changed out the wafer-thin stock resonant heads the tone was improved tenfold. Whether tuning high or low, the sound quality is very consistant (even between different sized heads), and I would reccomend these to just about anybody.

Great Heads

The Genera G2 (Clear) heads are great tom heads. I uses them for the batter side on (usually)a 12" and 16" tom set-up. I find that they are easy to tune, relatively consistent between heads, and have great responsiveness/clarity. Whenever I am doing I recording project I always purchase a new set of clear G2's for my toms. The downside is that I have found after about 3-4 weeks of frequent play they lose a lot of their tonality, so you have to buy them more often. (lame). But while they last they sound better than most tom heads out there and look at the price! I still use Aquarian skins for my Snare and Bass Drum but when It comes to toms...go Evans!

I use these as resonant heads

I bought these for an older Mapex Kit that consists of an 8" and 10" mounted tom, and a 12" floor tom. I use G2 coated batter heads, but I needed something that would give me a great tone on the resonant side but also control overtones. I read a review on these that gave me the idea for using the G2 clear batter on the resonant side. I tried it and it works great. The played it live recently and the drums sounded better than ever.

I first got this head as a clear head for my side snare, but to my suprise it made it sound amazing with a really powerful attack I then was hooked and slapped these on all the toms and my main snare, my kit now sings beautifully this is a great drum head for the price, I get such an attack from my toms and my snare now I love this drum head.
