I play a variety of musical styles (Funk, soul, Brazilian, Cuban, west-african pop) on my Premier Artist Birch-kit, and what I'm looking for in my toms is a warm, full sound, with lots of tone and sustain. I've been going for Remo Pinstripe before, but I fell in love with these heads the second I put them on. I hardly had to tune them, they sounded amazing immediately when mounting them (which has never been the case with the previously mentioned heads).
