A matter of preference.. but I like the coated Remo Ambassador for most of my snares, though I sometimes use a coated Emperor. On my 3x13 early 60s piccolo, i use the ambassador. I have never been a fan of Evans Dry heads, as I tend to like some resonance. I like a snare head to resonate, and then I can muffle from there depending on the sound that I want. The Evans dry heads are sort of a "one trick pony" to me..

i had a tama 13 inch piccolo that i bought from a pawn shop. it came with a jack dejanette black coated head. i never would have put that head on it but after i changed it to a remo coated it never sounded the same. so i bought a new dejanette to put back on it. that was the snapiest greatest sounding little snare. maybe you should try one to see how it sounds.
