"OK" Now we're talking. Now let's do an experiment. You still have the original heads that came with the drums, right. Those are coated heads and you replaced the heads to get a more boom power out of them. You only replaced the batter heads and kept the original heads on the resonator side.
Now am I with you so far, you also have to replace the resonator heads with the same type of heads. Mixing heads on the same drums will cause problems.
Put the original heads back on and get some resonator gel. It only costs about 5-10 bucks. That will cut down on the resonance of the drum depending on how much gel you place on the tops. Including the snare.
If you use less gel you get more resonance, more gel less resonance. Got it so far. Now don't go on waisting your money until you get used to the sound of your kit.
If your not pleased with the sound and you already got the ebony heads for the top, then get the ebony heads for the bottom. Now this has to do with a balance on the way that drum heads are made.
You just can't go around mixing brands or types of drum heads. Other wise the only head will be yours getting a headache.
As for the snare if you want that high note, then use double coated heads and not ebony for the snare. Does this make sense to you now?
