I use a SuperKick I with stock reso - 5" off center vent hole. The stock heads on my kit (Gretsch Catalina Maple) are supposedly Evans, but I don't think they are...no Evans logo or name anywhere on the head, so I think it really is just stock.
The only thing in the drum is a medium-sized towel rolled up and tied off with some old shoe strings against the reso.
Fills up a room (or sanctuary) in a live setting...haven't recorded with it so I'm not sure how it comes across on wax.
