The ear butts should work fine.  You just may have to build the butt/form transfer with clay a bit more with other forms.....but it will work.  As far the the eyes, I would probably go with a 30mm.  But most supply companies list which eye size they recommend for each form they supply.  I hope this helps.

Matrix 360 earliners with butts work really good, especially for a beginner...You know you'll get the right shapes, just watch your hair patterns, and keep an eye on the interior ear skin, to make sure drumming doesn't occur.

The matrix earbutts will work but I have found you will have to form them to the form. Most of the time I have to take out part of the form and counter sink the butts into the form. Good luck with your first
