What up family.

I know this has been discussed in the past, but my question is a little specific. I'm wanting to replace the drum heads on the drumset at church with Evans G2's. Currently the heads that are on there are Sonor Remos. My question is, if I replace the top heads, do I need to replace the bottom heads as well? I read another post that said having single ply heads on the bottom and double ply heads on the top makes great sound for church music. I'm unsure if Sonor Remos are single or double ply, does anyone know?

I also would like to know specifically what type of Evans heads to get between coated and clear, and what head you all would recommend for the Bass drum? Basically, what set up would y'all recommend? I didn't mean to ramble, forgive me.....

I would buy new bottom heads as well.....I usually stretche them for tow days before I use them.....they help give me an incredible sound.

As for base drum heads I would get the Aquarium II badrum head...it is so nice...Chris Coleman with Isreal uses it on Isreal's DVD.

Not a prob with the typo's.

So should I go with the Evans G2's for the snare and toms? (clear or coated??) And what head should I get for the bottoms of the snare and toms? I've been hearing nothing but good things about Aquarians bass drumhead so I'll get that but what head should I use on the back side of the bass drum?

Well personally I use Evans G2 clear, top and bottom on my set and on my bass I use Evans Emad (Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping ) Clear And EQ3 resonant black. And I'll tell you I get nothing but compliments on the sound of my drums. I Love and am sold out to Evans.

At the current moment I have evans G2 coated on my kit, but personally I am going back to Remo. Now for a snare head, Evans G1 is tight.
