  • Just amazing response.
Style: 14 Inch
I have used Evans HD Dry heads on all my snares and just when I thought my main Sonor Phonic Rosewood 14” x 6 1/2” couldn’t sound better it amazes me . The drums respose to my various sticking and attack is awesome. I tune wide open and the drum seems to sense the rooms make up. In the past I’ve used internal mufflers but this last HD Dry has reached a incredible even pitch that can’t be denied. ... show more

  • Different
Style: 14 Inch
I had only purchased Remo up to this point. However, these Evans drum heads are its own category. I wouldn't say one is better than the other, they are just different. It is nice to have different sounds and creative options. The holes in this drum head give it a nice twist. I feel very comfortable playing my drums with these heads and with different tunings. I want to explore more Evans now. I recommend them ... show more

I used this to replace my snare. It sounds very clean and crisp. I haven’t used a ton of different heads but this one has me happy for now!

  • Best drum heads for snare
Style: 14 Inch
These snare heads are super durable and always consistent with tuning. I find that I have to tune them 3/4 times when first changing it, but after that it’s always consistent. I trust this brand for almost all my drum heads including snare.

  • The Sound I Wished For…
Style: 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
