Evans HD Dry Coated Drum Head 14 Inch

A good dry tone. I don't use my damper gel with this. The holes are away from the centre so brushes may not catch them so easily.

Very good. If you know, you know!!

Was looking for a replacement head on a birch snare drum previously fitted with a Remo Ambassador. I had used the Evans Dry before on another (albeit steel) snare drum with good results. This was going at a very good price but I was a little worried that it might be too dry being the HD Dry version (this has a thin underlay of dampening material - a bit like an "O" ring) fitted underneath the head as well as the small vent holes around the perimeter. Needn't have worried though, as (coupled with a new Evans glass 500 head on the snare side) I got a very nice focussed sound which suits my playing & the music genre . I'm not a fan of moongel or other external dampeners, so this head has met expectations. Probably more suited to pop/rock music than (say) light jazz or quiet styles, and would seem to be a good choice for recording or close-miking up. You need to think about what you're after before buying though as there are two versions and if you need a lively open sound then this type of head may not suit at all.

Great drum skin, very happy :)

Having used Remo Ambassadors for years thought id try something different. This skin gives a nice solid snare sound that while reducing overtones doesn't completely kill them. Coupled with a dab of moongel on a Pearl sensitone i got the best live sound ive had for a long time. Recommended.

Very happy with product AllGood

Can probably make most 13" snares sound great. My favourite head.

I have used these heads now on a birch premier xpk drum, a premier 2000 aluminium snare drum and a pearl chad smith steel signature snare . While they kill some of the unwanted overtones , these heads still let the snare feel lively and responsive . Very easy to tune . The coating has been very durable . Not worn through yet like they always did on my remo ambassador heads in a relatively short space of time . Get one now.

Parche que se ha convertido en todo un clásico, desde que lo descubrí hace años (después de probar muchisimos) no he vuelto a cambiar, muy facil de afinar y con un sonido redondo, ni muy crujiente ni muy fat, añadiendo una buena bordonera hace sonar muy bien cualquier caja de gama media/baja, en mi Pearl Masters suena de miedo. Un parche que le recomiendo a todo el mundo.

Ho cambiato la mia pelle originale con questa e devo dire che la differenza si nota. Suono più nitido e corposo, meno armoniche, ottima scelta come battente. Non ho provato remo ma devo dire che questa per i miei gusti mi soddisfa. la consiglio.

Awesome drumhead seriously sustain is really low best for rock/metal.... And plz make sure its available Everytime because I'm going to buy it again 💯💯💯💯

My drums sound really great with these heads!

Spiele es live auf einer Omar hakim Snare 13 Zoll von Pearl. Knackiger Sound, wenig Obertöne, gut abzumischen. Ist das Geld wert
