I like a bright sound and I use G2's (clear or coated) over clear G1's. This may not be the best choice on sunlite's shells. I would suggest you look into either the Evans Hydraulics or Remo Pinstripes or even Aquarian Studio X's. These will help control the overtones that you often get with the entry level kits. i played a cheesy ludwig when I first started and learned how to work with the ringiness.
