Smile What Drum Heads to use

I play the drums and need to change the heads/skins but not sure what ones to use.
I play blues music so I was looking at two-ply coated heads but not sure.
I have looked at Evans and Remo heads, is one better than the other?

Thank god I'm not a drummer or I'd never get through all that head and skins without giggling like a retard.

Not sure, but Remo sounds more fimiliar. How about a coated snare head and clear w/black Dot heads for the Toms?

Very informative!

(But tbh I don't know **** about heads either or even how to tune my snare correctly and I've been drumming for 5 years)

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.
