    • AWESOME SNARE HEAD -- CRISP, VERY RESPONSIVE w/ a BIG SOUND! AMAZINGLY STRONG + VERSATILE. EZ to TUNE
Style: Single Size: 14 Inch
LOVE this snare head! For years, I had always played on Remo Ambassador Coated for my snare drums. But i had just finished restoring, upgrading + customizing an old, deep metal snare drum and i was looking for an upgraded head sound to complete my "new" drum. After some research, i ordered this head. Wow!! As soon as i pulled this head out, i could feel the better quality and construction of it. Once on the drum, it tuned up so quickly + easily that i felt like an idiot for having stuck with Remo all those years! This snare head delivers a BIG sound that i love. It is crisp, very responsive, strong + versatile for different sound-styles AND it stays that way long after most snare heads have worn out or gone "flabby." I play in 3 bands that require 3 very different playing styles/sounds--from bright + ring-y to a heavy-dark boom. This awesome head does it all! It takes non-stop use + abuse then just keeps going without losing its great sound. It's even hard to know when to replace them since there's no real discernible change in their sound or response! I finally changed this head just because i normally would have gone thru 2 or 3 of the Remo heads by then and figured maybe i should. And, get this, i took the old head off + gave it to my friend for his "thrasher" set at home and it's still going strong, sounding great. Amazing! i recommend these highly. If you're still playing the on same old-school snare heads + want to update your sound, do yourself a favor and try these. ... show more

    • Value for quality!
Style: Tom Pack Size: 10-12-14 Inch
My son put the heads on his toms right away and loved the sound. He was playing on his drums right away. My husband and I noticed the difference in sound quality and performance of the heads. We knew we made a good purchase and The feel of the drum heads matched the appearance is the the dry coat. My son was able to quickly tune the heads with the 360 technology. ... show more

    • Best head I've ever used
Style: Single Size: 14 Inch
This head has to be the best head that I've used in recent history. Tuning low. I can get a fat dry sound out of it, tuning high. I get my snappity crack that I love. Ghost notes all day with his head and rolling like rolling thunder. I highly recommend this head and I will definitely be using it a lot in my career ... show more

    • Tight, controlled tone
Style: Single Size: 12 Inch
Hate it when your snare drum rings? Well, here's your head. These HD Dry heads by Evans are 2-ply with a tone control ring on the bottom side. The Tone control ring kind of acts like a Rem-O in the way that it dampers vibrations and controls the overtones. These are durable heads. The coating is really nice. Evans heads are the best for controlling your tone. No one can deny that. The tone wizards at Evans have a glowing reputation for good reason. For low volume gigs, recording or just to get rid of the annoying PING sound, get yourself an HD Dry head. ... show more

    • The Sound I Wished For…
Style: Single Size: 14 Inch
I was skeptical at first, since the dry snare sound I have tried to achieve over the years seemed elusive at best, having tried about every external add-on that I could rig up without total success. But I have been using Evans heads almost exclusively lately- so when I saw this HD Dry and its claims - I bought it. I must admit - I am amazed at the sound the head puts out without the need for coaxing. I installed it nice and tight all the way around and it was instantly my favorite snare. I do still use a mylar trim ring on top, and my bolt-on muff under the batter remains unchanged. But the sound is the best I have ever heard on my kits. I use a 14” DW Performance Series as my primary snare - but I am certain that whatever brand you favor - this head will make it sound better than you previously imagined- and without any effort - other than bolting it on using the same process typically used to install a head. This head will make THE difference! It truly is the ultimate dry tight attack - universally loved in the studio and live on the stage - mic it or not! ... show more

    • Crisp, crack, and so easy to tune
Style: Single Size: 14 Inch
I've been using this head for quite a while after trying a variety of others, including other Evsns products. As others have noted it's an unbeatable combination with a 300 snare side head. It tunes quickly and easily and doesn't require tone rings or moon gels to eliminate overtones. My main snare is a Black Beauty (I tune about 300hz on the top head, about 400 on the bottom). It's a pleasure to play; every time I sit down to play I'm amazed. I also use this on several other drums such as a 13" Joey Jordinson signature and the ubiquitous 14" Chad Smith. Both are steel and ring out without overtones. I also use it to add crispness and crack to wood drums. It sounds amazing on a Pearl maple, for example. One note: I use these for more contemporary, mid-high to very high tunings. For mid to lower tunings like one might use for classic rock or the big '80s snare I prefer the ST vented. To my ears the HD starts to lose its high level of definition as it's tuned lower; inversely the ST chokes if tuned too high. I know many drummers do use the HD at lower tunings and I can imagine it could be pleasantly warm for styles other than rock. One last thought: both the HD and ST are amazingly tough. Before I found Evans I would burn through an Ambassador (single-ply to be fair) every few weeks. When I change one of these it's usually either to switch to a different tuning range or just to get that shiny new head look. ... show more
