Thanks Wayne. I've had her setup and tuned to my liking for two weeks now. Problem is, she has ousted all competition and now I am trying to gather information on the sonic properties of various Dynasonics (5 vs 6.5 inchers, Big R vs 7 liners etc).

I've started a separate topic on this, hoping for some input.

I also would like to know what these skyntones are like, I specifically need to know if they are going to project enough because of there nature. It also says they are an 8 mil head. But I would be wanting to try then for radio king snares. Your dynasonic is naturally a louder drum anyway so might be ok?... I bought a big R dynasonic last year but It just wouldn't go crisp at all it was a total buzz bomb, I even bought a replacement bridge and still hopeless, so I sent it all the way back to the US the dealer let me exchange it for the supra and that buzzes as wellCryBaby .

I love the jazz era

I like Skyntones. I use them on most of my drums, but haven't tried them on my Dynasonic, since I read somewhere about someone who tried Fiberskyns on a Dyna but didn't like that.

Skyntones are great. Less overtones than Ambassadors, very like real calf.
