Aside from the slight and not so slight differences they all sound good, because a) you are a good drummer. b) you can tune drums very well. c) you have a nice drum kit. d) you made a very good recording, which leads to e) I still can't make up my mind!

The amount of work put into this video man, hats off to you.

Those Ambassador Vintages had such a nice warm tone. Really brought out the best in that beautiful kit!

This is how you do a demo video!

I think for me the main conclusion is, you've got some great sound in your hands, and you've got a set of great sounding shells! keep up the good work!

This is the perfect drum head comparizon video! You play the same grooves every time! :) The drums sounds amazing and you're a great player! Thanks for this video!

ANY head will sound amazing on a Brady kit.

Ambassador’s for me and Remo period here with all their heads, the evans sound a bit choked in comparison to me and the aquarians a bit flatter then the Remo but this is being uber picky. They all sound similar really but Remo sound the most natural, round, warm and full to me always but they all sound good just different characteristics to each brand. Personally I love the Remo vintage Emperor’s, they sound huge, warm and still have great sustain and they last when you play often!

Finally a man that knows how to tune the drumzz. And that kit does justice to all the skins. Very nice work.

Best to my ears were 1. Vintage a 2. Good ole fashion ambassador Honorable mention , the Evans calftone

Mate this is a really good video. Perfect drum head comparison. 🤘🏻

I realize that most drummers kits will be tuned to a low to med tension so it makes perfect sense that that's where this comparison video aims. I have a kit tuned close to this but I also have a "jazz" kit with either an 18" or 20" bass drum. I would really love to see a drum head comparison video where the tuning is high on toms, bass drum, and snare drum. Hearing the Evans J1 and 56'Calftones - Remo Vintage and Fiberskins - Aquarian Jack DeJohnette, Vintage and Modern Vintage would be a great addition. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos. That's quite an undertaking!

Best video I’ve watched in a while, thank you

Huge props, respect and thanks for putting out this video, changing that many heads is no small task 🤘

I still come back to watch this video a few times a year. How great the kit is tuned, the Brady shells, excellent playing, etc. I have a Brady kit also and for me it's the most challenging of all my 6 kits to tune! When I do spend a bit of time dialing in my kit, the tone is very special.

For me, the clear emperors sounded the best. Your drums also help a lot, great Brady's. Thanks for the trouble and for sharing.

I like anything Remo, but the Remo Emperor Clears have got to be my favorite out of those. Got me a set of UV1's for the whole kit recently and I just can't get into them. Definitely a lot of tone and resonance, but the plastic-like coating makes them feel and sound inorganic to my ears, almost like toy drum-heads.

I've never liked Evans heads but this vid has made it clear why - they sound far more choked than the rest. I'm kind of confused by the comments in here praising them.

That ride tom is money regardless of what heads are on it!

Coated Ambassadors for the win. Great video!

Awesome drum solo!)

Thumbs up for the effort! Thanks.

Great comparison, thank you. To my surprise the Smooth white hits the nail. A little more focussed, darker and louder than the rest. I should give them a try.

I keep gravitating toward Vintage Ambassadors on my sets as well. They really have struck quite the balance with those.

That's brilliant. Thank you.

I liked a lot of them, but to my ear, best single shots were the coated ambassadors. Grooving in the beginning I liked the coated ambassadors and Aquarian modern vintage.

thanks so much for this. I found it very helpful and useful.

Gotta say that kick sounds amazing!

Great job. Thank you very much.

I always use Remo coated Ambassadors on my snare drums and Ambassador coated Vintage on toms. Just prefer the sound on my Gretsch kit. 😎

thank you! Nice video! Verry helpfull!

For me, the Modern Vintage wins for swing, Emperor wins for rock, and UV1 wins for jazz / most well rounded sound.

Thanks, this is great!!!

really nice! thanks man, helps me a lot

An excellent demo. I'm going to have to get myself a Tune-Bot. Torn between the Coated Ambassador and the Vintage.

this is awesome.

Great video and alot of hard work. I think that we all have an unconscious bias towards remo heads as they're probably the most recorded heads in recent history and most of our favourite recordings use them. Just my theory.

Remo vintage emperor is sooooo good, also the calftones are just great.

Very good video! It's hard to compare drumheads because every model has it's own sweet spot, but the video is very informative and the approach is very nice. I have plenty of experience with Evans, Remo and Aquarian myself. The Modern Vintage start to sing when you crank them up a bit, and the Clear Emperor has nice crack in a medium tuning. Never tried the Vintage ambassadors but the Ambassador Black suede has plenty of attack and wide tuning range but unless the great sound all the Remo heads "die" in less than a month when i play every day. The Aquarian Texture Coated is one of the most balanced and durable single ply head i played and maybe you can put them in a video in the future. The sound and the tuning are great, good work!

Nice groove, when u can play good, and tune good any head sounds goods. ice video!

Amazing! They all sound the same to me.

Great Video... thanks !!

Very nice Kai. Still going back to coated ambassadors.... the dynamic range and type of "clearness" works great for many styles and tunings. The other heads are nice too :-) I have to try the Aquarians soon

merci beaucoup for sharing!!!!

awesome!

Mmmmm … All except the Evans heads really .. Great tuning and a beautiful kit - played really well. 👌

Great video.

Nice job for me coated emperors or clear are my preference on toms, BD Evans EMAD, snare coated ambassador.

Wowww great drums!!!

I've used Remo Smooth white Emperor heads and Remo Clear Emperor heads for my toms. Both sound awesome. Next i want to try Remo clear controlled sound. If you want a drum head with NO resonance at all try the Evans Hydraulic clear heads. They have oil in between the 2 plies!

My taste and ears liked the Remo Ambassador Vintage on the rack tom. It was clear and beautiful...Every tom assembled is unique with subtle nuances that OCD/ perfectionist sort of folks can distinguish quickly. Tuning, accuracy of stick to skin strike and a myriad of factors can all contribute to sonic change.

all great !

Thank you.

Very helpful.

Those drums sound great

Incredible comparison!! Consistent tuning....a very expensive comparison!!

Beautiful sounding drums I think any heads on Brady's will sound good!

remo ambassador vintage and evans 56 calftone are my favs

I think at the same tuning, the heads have subtle differences except for the clear heads. I think this tuning range is probably a sweet spot for the heads and drums plus good playing. I'd imagine that these heads would perform differently at different tunings. The best is the type that can fit the ranges you need and have some durability. Of course, that will be different for all of us.

I like the remo emperor clear heads🙌🏽
