I agree when it comes to NOT using Vaseline & WD40. I've always used white Lithium Grease, as well (in the tube, not the spray. how is the spray?). Just a dab'll do ya! BEST, CJT

We used Evans this summer and I thought their bottom heads ruined the sound of the drum (pearl ffx). After experimenting, we found that the evans top heads (which are quite durable due to less tension) with Ludwig Xtra-thin bottom heads bring out more strainer sound than the "kevlar" (yes i read the aramid post up above, but the label on the head in the package says kevlar). We also noticed a SUBSTANTIAL change in volume output (meaning there is more of it) which forced our boys (and 1 girl) to play much more musically. As for sticks, take your pick: Johnson, Hardimon, Moore, Coolie, SF, Angst... the list goes on. Best, CJT NICK TAYLOR! EMAIL ME AND TELL ME HOW YOUR SUMMER W/CAP SOUND WENT!!! I'M ANXIOUS TO HEAR!
