Evans HD Dry Snare Drum Heads - 12 Inch - Coated for Durability - Durability, Sonic Response - Made with Two Plies & Control Ring - Made in the USA

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

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.

Bought three. They are still going after 6 months with no dents or much wear. One is used at a jam every week.

Easy to put on great sound good quality it fit easily!

Awesome fast shipping.

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!

This is my go to snare drum batter head, have it on all my snare drums!

Sounds great, I like the dryness of it, sounds more like a clap instead of a snap. Overall impressed with the quality and sound. And it's stain resistant too so it doesn't get too dirty.

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.

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

Une référence. Elle coupe très bien les harmoniques. Son mat et claquant. Plusieurs types de jeu possible. C'est chaud, ça sonne.

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

Muito boa ! Extremamente fácil de afinar, pois possui muito pouca ressonância. A durabilidade dela é otima também. A qualidade som é excelente, um seco na medida se encaixando em variados estilos musicais que você queira tocar, desde rock , pop, jazz ou fusion.
