[QUOTE="John Norris, post: 98132, member: 155"] Re: Why did I piss off the headline drummer? Diplomats? C'mon. Ambassadors, more likely. Maybe Diplomats on the resonant head, sure; I and most drummers I know use them on the bottom, but DW's initial market, and still their primary one, is the rock n' roll market, not the jazz market, where the thin Diplomat would be more appropriate. (Although even for jazz, Diplomats on top still aren't that common, since most jazzers use either coated Ambassadors or Fiberskins, or the Evans or Aquarian equivalents.) Diplomats on top would suck big time for rock and R&B, unless one were going for a Motown tribute sound. Plus, they'd break much more easily under a rock assault. The tom heads that they now ship with are still 1 ply, except for the area of the outer perimeter damping ring. [/QUOTE]
