I have just started playing drums again after taking 25 years off. Things have changed considerably since the early eighties.

I am playing with some fellow geezers, doing hard rock standards (a lot of old Sabbath).

I bought a Pork Pie set (little squealers). It’s a small kit with a big sound. And I have worn through the original heads and need replacements.

I need your opinions on heads. Remo, Aquarian, Attack, Evans…what are you playing?

A drummer friend recommended Remo Pin Stripes, but my contact at Pork Pie syas they used to be good but are now junk. What say you all?
