 I'm sure any two-ply batter one-ply reso combo will sound good. I've not done any research myself into those drums being picky about heads but I'm a bit suspect about those kinds of claims in general, especially if we're talking about a relatively new production line drumset. Assuming the shells are round and the bearing edges are smooth anything should work just fine. I agree with CrashtestDummy that "good" comes down to good quality heads that are tuned well. Most of the time when folks aren't happy with the sound it's more likely to be expectations vs. reality, and less a fault with the heads themselves.
