What are the best recording drum heads for the studio?

ANSWER

Hi, Troy--

The choice of drum heads for ANY application is a personal thing--depending on the sound that you want, the mics that you choose, and the studio equipment (and many other variables).

You can see a description of the various types of drum heads at Tuning Hints.
