I tried a Remo synthetic head and it was comprehensively horrible. Whatever I tried it had a dead sound. I used rhythm king heads on my last drum kit and I used an electronic kit happily for a few years so I am not biased against synthetic heads but I can only warm to goat skin bodhrans. (I know it may be irrational but the idea of a greyhound skin drum I find completely repellent. I've had greyhound lurchers and salukis so it's an emotional thing I suppose.)
