I use this on Premier Genista 1990s drum kits , thin birch shell undersized. it is a like a thicker G1 head , its heavier and more durable these heads take away some of the plentiful birch attack , and add a nice warm resonant tone , half modern half vintage in nature . also take a superb beating for a long time before losing energy and life. i found g1 to thin sounding and g2 to dead sounding , this is in between and to me is a best kept secret for tone . im using g1 resonant heads. they also tune and hold tune very well., i think they suit 14 and 16 inch floor toms best in this thickness of ply. i havent tried the coated but i expect it would be the best one for birch but i dont like coated heads on toms generally.
