Gosh - I am shocked. Less than a year ago, I put on an EVANS G2 on my bass drum head. Today, I noticed a split in the skin. God knows how long the split has been on the skin but I am quite surprised that a quality G2 (double-ply some more) cannot take the moderate beating I give.
I am not a heavy drummer and I am also a heel-down player so I exert very little force on my bass drum. I am only using a single beater Pearl Eliminator and I use the felt heads all the time. With all the above factors, it still cannot tahan the beating.
What is the recommendation for a good bass drum head ? No more EVANS for me. I like an open loud, deep thud sound as I muffle the insides of the 20" bass quite a bit.
So far, searching the global forums reveal the Powerstroke 3 as a bass skin of choice. What do the experts here think ? Good choice ?
Thanks.
