Whats up everyone! Its been a long while since I came here, just want to share my experience of using the attack heads for awhile now.
First and foremost, I have to disclaim that I am making comparisons generally to Remo and Evans only cos I've only been exposed to this 2 brands before using the attack heads.
So far, I've used the Attack Snare heads, Terry Bozio Signature heads for my Tama Bubinga snare, and 1 ply coated for my Tama Brass and Steel.
I'll start with my bubinga snare (Terry Bozio Signature heads), I have approximately played on this head for about 10 occassions already. Firstly, I've to say that Attack heads have impressed me with their level of consistency on the heads. I have only needed to fine tune my snare once since I starting using the heads from the start. With the Evans and Remo, I usually have to retune my snare after 3 - 4 jamming sessions.
Initially, my bubinga snare was equiped with the Evan G1 coated. Although I liked the resonance the G1 projects, I felt that the snare sound was over compromised (some might refer this to the tone of the head). To give a better picture, the sound is something that is well projected but the impact of the snare sound is least felt. I not be too sure about the Remo ambassador as I have yet to try it on my bubinga snare. I can also use the centre reverse dot but the projection is then reduced for this one.
The attack 1 ply coated, on the other hand, due to its overall thicker material I believe, has allowed the snare to project pretty well, and yet not losing the sound of the snare, which is exactly how I like my snare to sound (at least my main one).

I did a recording of my bubinga snare with the Terry Bozio batter on about a month ago, sorry about the bad quality, it was recorded with my lousy digi cam!
Ps. I have recently changed the snare side to the Terry Bozio sig as well, I will give a detail review after playing with it more.
I've also change the top heads of my Brass snare and Steel snare to both the Attack 1 ply Coated. Previously I was using the Powerstroke 3, and then the G1 costed on my brass snare and the Reverse Centre dot on the Steel snare.
I'm also liking how the heads allow my snares to project and maintain the snare sound at a decent level, especially with my brass snare. The powerstroke 3 has the thickest snare sound, but the projection of the snare was close to none. Whereas the projection of the G1 was alittle too out of hand.
I will also do alittle recording of both the metal snares maybe sometime next week and give a better review after I play them alittle more often.
