Good day all,
I have a slightly different take on the pinstripe comment.
A buddy of mine has a relatively new set of pearl exports with stock heads all around exept for the 10'' tom (remo pinstripe)... this was by far the best sounding drum in his setup. I've also heard pinstripes on another friends kit and they sounded great... having said that I finally have my own kit and use evans g2 clear batters over g1 clear resos and love them!! ... both companies have quality heads - it's personal preference.

Ok, considering the possibility that you really are confused on what to get I'll help you. It just depends on what kind of sound you want. I play a more Hard Rock/Progressive style of music and I feel that my Evans G2 coated heads are perfect for the sound I want. Pinstripes, however, give a completely different kind of sound. More "Poppy" or "Main Stream Rockish". I apologize that I started this whole debate but thats my whole take on the drum head situation. It really depends on what you want sound-wise. I hope this helps.

There is no need to apologize as far as I am concerned. Debates such as this can be beneficial to many people as long as things don't get out of hand with name-calling or hurt feelings. One thing I have learned in my musical endeavors is people seldom have the same taste or the same way of doing things. This is not always a bad thing since learning a new way or new sound only broadens an individual's knowledge of music.

It is not what you have, it is what you do with what you have that makes the biggest difference in the sound!

This isn't too surprising. Most guys replace the stock heads with better quality heads. This almost always results in a better sound - assuming the guy knows how to tune.
