I bought them for my toms, because I wanted to try clear heads top and bottom on them, and there was a good sale on
Attack heads at that point in time. I only had one set of comparable (medium weight, clear)
Remo Ambassadors for one of my toms, but I wanted to set 'em all up with the same head combination and see what I thought. Frankly, tho, on these drums at least, the
Attacks sound just as good as the
Remos.
However, I didn't buy them "blindly" - I had tried
Attack heads on snare drums before, and I was satisfied with the quality. Additionally, the drummer I hire to play with my jazz vibes trio, has
Attack coated heads on his toms, and his drums sound great with them. Based on those previous (successful) examples, I decided to roll the dice and try the
Attacks for my toms.
In terms of snare drums, I tend to like
Aquarian heads better than
Attacks, so I'm tempted to go
Aquarian when the time comes to replace the heads currently on my toms. On the other hand, tho, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - I'm happy enough with the sound of the
Attacks to at least consider buying them again when I replace tom heads. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
