I'm looking for a particular set of heads. I want tom heads that are bright, have a short sustain, and have a harder feel than most.

I love doing me some double stroke rolls, but with the heads I have now, the rolls aren't very clear at all. It's very muddy, and I wish the heads could have more rebound.

And a bright sounding head just fits the way I play. Now I need a hard surfaced head with a short sustain.

Something very articulate.

Any opinions?

I'm also looking for a very warm, soft, but bold sound for my bass drum. I want something that's more of a medium sustain, but very low and articulate. Now that's a tricky combo.

Any help there?

I wasn't going to go into snare, but I might as well kill three birds with one stone this time. I'm looking for a light, crisp, very wet sound. I want it to sound very crisp. Something where each note is short in sustain.

Same with the toms. I want a short sustain and a bright, crisp sound to bring out rolls and fast singles.

I know tuning plays a big role, but I need to start with the right heads.

for toms you should def. try g1 coated.as for your bass drum you should try the evans EMAD coated. thats the one taht looked the best for what you are looking for. SNare hit up EC1 coated. well i hope you get a chance to look at these. or u can even go to the evans website and look for wat you are looking for.

In the interest of short sustain on your toms I'd recomend evans g2 or g2 coated. They still have good attack and rebound and a tad warmer.

I agree with skinslapper. If you want pull of some double strokes your going to need some dense double ply heads, I would try Remo Pinstripes or Emperors on the toms. I use Emperors and tune low to med, I don't get a lot of bounce. So Pinstripes might be the way to go. As a reference point what kind of heads are you using now?
