Tried that one last weekend on a live gig. The head completely fulfilled my expectations. The head allows a wide range of tuning(high,middle and low) without affecting to much the feel and the rebound, keeping a great sound. The dot lets you to play with a harder a sharper sound and stay in a good shape even after the strongest hits, perfect for rock music. Combined with the Ambassador Snare Reso, this head will give you some good results. Plus the funky colored look. Enjoy!
