NOTES ON DRUMHEAD SELECTION + TUNING:
Built to meet the demands of Matt Garstkas powerful, precision-driven playing, this drumhead setup delivers the ideal blend of warmth, durability, tone, and control. An Ambassador Vintage Coated snare batter paired with an Ambassador Hazy snare side produces a focused, responsive feel with the warmth and durability of two-ply construction. On the toms, Emperor Clear batter heads and Ambassador Coated resonant heads combine outstanding durability with rich tone and a warm, controlled sustain. Anchoring the kit, a Powerstroke P4 Coated bass drum batter paired with a Powerstroke P3 Ebony resonant head delivers deep, focused low end and the articulate punch needed to drive Matts heavy, complex drumming with authority.
