These Remo Ambassador clear drum heads are my favourite drum heads to use. I find they tune up really easy, sounding good, tuned at high tensions or tuned low. I think they have a great attack, sounding nice and punchy, which is great for playing live.
I would choose these heads for more of a rocky sound, as opposed to a jazzy warm sound, where people would tend to use a coated head.
I have found that these heads last a very long time, you really get your gigs worth out of them, I am yet to break one of these heads, their durability is great, and for the amount they cost, you can't go wrong.
