Got Fiberskyn FAs all over mine. Sounds great, but not the best projection for loud rock.

practise, practise, practise.... :)
seriously, most famous drummers have the sound in their hands and feet, not the equipment.
i use Remo Renaissance on the old sets i have and they sound beautiful!
nothing for a heavy hitter though.
for the seventies sound i prefer remo cs.
cheers

I've used the Aquarian -American vintage heads on Gretsch snares. They fit a little better than Ambassador's, but I just don't like the sound. They feel pretty thick and hard, and do not provide the sensitivity I like to hear in my snares.
On the other hand I love Fiberskyns and Ambassadors, but I have a hard time fitting them on Gretsch's.
