I use any batter head of chioce on my early 70's Slingerland 24" bass drum for the sound I like. I like a big sound so I use either a clear or coated Remo Emporer. I use a Remo Power Stroke 3 on the front side. It has a dampning ring around the outside edge that will take care of your problem and you will achieve the sound you would like depending on which batter head you choose. The Power Stroke comes in white or ebony and you can get them with mike holes if you like.
