Don't mess about, if you have DW drums, put DW heads on them!!!!
I have tried just about every make and type of snare head there is, don't get me wrong, some of them sound good, in fact very good with a bit of effort and fiddling about.
The DW snare head is 'semi tensioned' straight out of the box, (quite a sturdy box, so you can throw a spare head in your traps case and not worry about it getting damaged), with very little time and effort it will sing like an angel on your cherished DW snare drum.
