Remo
4.3
(135)
"Power stroke reverse dot. Learn to tune and not rely on the heads to get a sound."
"We use the Coated Powerstroke 3 w/Power Dot from Remo at my church and we all love it."
"I have never heard a snare drum of any diameter, depth, nor materials sound bad with a Remo CS Reverse Dot coated head."
"P 77 on my Dunett stainless steel which is 8 inches deep. The thing fucking cranks."
"P77 if the shell is metal and/or your goal is to really crank the tuning"
"I use the p77 on my supraphonic's"
"Ambassador! Sharp attack but still warm. I love these on snares and toms."
"Remo Coated Ambassador is what you need."
"I really love Remo Powerstroke coated for my snare top."
"The only snare head I ever use is a Remo ambassador coated."

Evans

"Evans UV1. Crank it and start shattering glass."
"I've been using a Genera on snare for the last couple years and been extremely happy with the versatility of it."
"I really like the G12 for a little beef."
"Evans EC Reverse Dot. It's like the Remo P77 but imo better."
"In my opinion it’s the Evan’s Genera Dry. You could have a snare cranked to the max and the GD will muffle out the long ring."
"Evans ST dry, makes my snare drum come alive!!"
"My go to is an Evans Genera Dry coated."
"Evans Power center all day."
"Evans UV1. 1-ply with no muffling but that UV coating makes it super durable."
"You want an Evans HD Dry head. Coated single-ply with a re-ring and tiny vent holes around the edge. It'll give you a nice tight CRACK! even at lower pitches."

Aquarian

"Aquarian hi energy. I was incredibly impressed the last time I played one."
"All the durability of a heavy double ply, all the sensitivity of a single ply."
"On all my brass snares, I use the Aquarian Hi Velocity batter over their Classic Clear snare side. It is amazing."
"I use Aquarian Hi Energy batter and Aquarian Classic Clear Snare Side reso on mine."
"If I am recording I like to go for an Aquarian High Energy."
"Aquarian Hi-Energy. I've never heard a better head."
"I play a Mapex 6.5 inch hammered snare and use an Aquarian Triple Threat head as my batter. I tune it all the way up and it has an awesomely deep exploding thingy going on that ruins eardrums."
"Aquarian triple threat batter. I've never gone back."
"Single ply coated, preferably Aquarian."
"For snare I recommend the Aquarian Hi-Energy Batter head."

"Hands down best."

Remo Ambassador Clear Snare Side Head
4.0

"I like the Remo Ambassador Clear Snare Side head, but again, the sound you are after isn't achieved with any particular snare side head."
