I bought a Gretsch catalina with an 18” bass drum a long time ago. It came with an Evans bass drum batter and reso. I still wanted the Gretsch logo and so bought these remo permatone heads. I use remo heads for the other drums anyway and so was fine with that. I didn’t really understand what I had and what I was buying. I had to do some research after the huge, long floor tom like boom that came from the bass drum, lol. It took me a bit of experimentation to find the sound I wanted and am very happy with it. It’s different than the Evans or what I imagine a Powerstroke III would give you, but I think it sounds pretty awesome.
I eventually wound up with half a towel rolled up against both batter and reso heads. It lasts a little longer maybe than the heads with control rings. Maybe…but it sounds very deep and bigger and more open than the control ring heads. They're single ply too, or at least a thinner mil. All of this is interesting to me because I didn’t have anything in the bass drum with the Evans heads.
