I'm a big fan of Coated G1s or Coated Ambassadors on both sides. I also tune my toms fairly high and my snare fairly low. Basically, I don't tune snares much higher than toms. Although it does depend on the drum, of course.

I like a nice open sound. Lets also remember that 1 ply heads have much more projection. 2 ply heads and muffled heads lose projection and tend to sound slappy and often are inaudible from an audience perspective.

If you never use brushes and or want an even more open or brighter sound, I'd suggest the clear versions of those said heads.

A few other things to note. Aquarian heads tend to sound dead in comparison to Evans and Remo heads with similar specs. They have a different feel as well. If you're looking for a little more clarity between strokes, Aquarian could work. Just note that they lack some of the higher end tones.

Next, if you lack control and/or play THROUGH the heads instead of drawing the sound off of the heads, this head combination is not for you.

I find people get the wrong idea about hard hitting. You CAN hit hard and use thin head if you're playing off the heads. If you play through the heads, you'll dent just about anything.
