Anyone here use them on the reso side of their toms? I've been recommended by a friend of mine to get some Diplomats for the reso side of my Ludwig Hollywood kit as opposed to the coated Ambassadors that are on it currently. I just threw some Ambassadors on the batter side to replace the smooth Emperors that it came with, and I'm just curious the difference i would hear using the Dips vs Ambs.

My standard go to for heads was emperors batter side, and diplomat resonant side. Unfortunately most shops around me don't stock diplomats anymore.
I like Drums...

Dips are great reso head if they fit your drums.
Coated, white or clear, they will give the most resonance of any head I know of.
mind you, I only run Evans g1 on reso now
