| | | It's too bad there's no option to vote for "both." I've got clear heads on my toms, but coated heads on my snare drums.
I used to have coated heads on my toms, before giving clears a try. I honestly don't know whether I'll go with coated or clear, when the time comes to replace the heads currently on my toms - I like both sounds, actually. | |

I prefer coated on the snare for sure and clear on the toms, for the most part. |

| | Oh totally, my snare is a coated evans g2 powerdot. I don't know anyone who plays clear on the snare. I tried it once, but there's just no flavour to it at all. |

| | | some drummers use both depending on the situation. but Of course they have lots of money to spind on the things and well.... most of us dont.
I know the drummer for system of a down uses coated in the studio and clear on tour so I guess you if you can aford it use both if you like the sounds you get. |

| | | But then again I'm sure the drummer from System of a Down also has multiple drum sets for those things and a set up and tear down team as well. |

| | | I use clear pistripes for mounted and floor toms, and a coated Ambassador for the snare. Back when I first started playing drums, I used clear pinstripes all the way around. I went to the music store one day and they didnt have a clear pinstripe for my snare, so the dude runnin the place recommended a coated head.....I havent changed from coated on my snare since
