Molded linings work very well on cast drums and are quiet. Woven work well, but squeak. When you do get them lined, You might find there are several choices of molded lining. Use a softer lining for better grip. The harder linings will last a long time, but will not stop as well.
When I asked Mel Gross what he recommended on his drums, he strongly favored molded linings.
