PP-0922-PS Pinstripe Clear : No-brainer and great for rock

I've been using these for a couple of years now and they still maintain a nice thump. Compared to 1-ply Ambassadors, they:

• Have a slightly drier sound

• Have a beefier feel

• Are more resistant to shocks

• Are less flexible tuning wise*

*I think these heads sing the most in a middle tuning, where they don't feel or sound too flabby (too low tuning) or don't feel or sound squeaky (too high tuning).

So if you are looking for a typical rock sound that is a no-brainer and very resistant to heavy playing no matter the drumsticks you use, go for them. If you are looking to experiment with sounds and haven't tried 1-plies yet, I would give 1-plies a go first and then try these if you want something beefier along the road.
