Drum Heads

I'm checking around for new kick and snare heads, and I thought y'all could help to point me in the right direction. I'm very much into Homer Steinweiss from the Dap Kings' sound, especially on that remix they did of "Most Likely You Go Your Way" that was posted on here a bit ago. Also I dig the tone of the kit on "Across the Atlantic" by the Budos Band. So I guess I'm looking for a very acoustic sound. Thuddy kick/Bright and snappy, but not too loud snare. Think latin funk..Any help would be appreciated.

i have 4 snare drums and some ive tried 3 different brand heads on, usually doesnt make a whole lot of difference. ive had 3 kick drums and id say the same for them too.
not completely related but for longevity i stick with evans...never broken an evans (except a kick head) yet ive gone through a good 4-5 remo snare heads.
Any opinions on a good kick/snare setup ? I've got some dough stashed away from my job this summer (the cheaper the better though), I'm willing to splurge a little bit. Brand/Model/Size/whatever.
as far as kick goes i dont know man, im usually satisfied, if i want less BOOM and more thud i just put lots of pillows in the kick. usually i can get everything good that way.
