"Both coated and clear Evans heads possess equally professional qualities. It's a matter of choice depending upon what is most suitable for the music. EMAD batter kick heads, both coated and clear are unmatched in attack, tone depth, sensitivity, power, and musicality."

"Power Center Reverse Dot coated batter snare head is a favorite of mine, as it eliminates the need for additional padding (unless desired) lending definition and center attack while allowing the drum to breathe along the edges for a wide spectrum of tone and resonance."
