I've got two front heads for the kick, the original '66 full head with the "groovy" Ludwig logo, and a newer Ludwig "Rocker" with a 4" hole. Last song the kit was used on, we went with no front head and no pillow, just a strip of felt across the beater side. It sounded the best in the room mics, the ring of each kick died off just before the next hit.
I used to have a head that was cut down to the rim so you could leave the front hoop on for support. Memories of mixing SNFU when Chi Pig would do his one foot plant on the kick and the whole thing would bend, shooting him into the air...
