The old rules no longer apply.

The Hybrid Snare Drum Batter, originally baptized on the football field, is durable to the extreme, yet does not sacrifice sensitivity. This is a result of the use of two unique high-tensile fibers, one chosen for flexibility and the other for durability. The head answers the wishes of heavy rockers, delivering heightened attack and unprecedented resistance to breaking. The most durable of Evans heads, it offers an intriguing aesthetic. A layer of Evans' unique "frosted" coating allows the grey twill inner weave to show through clearly. The Hybrid Drumset Snare Batter borrows from its revolutionary sister, the Hybrid Marching Snare Batter and, thus, is the most durable of Evans' drumset heads and is already in use by metal drummers Bobby Jarzombek and Mike Wengren. These artists are delighting in a head that provides such extreme durability and attack without sacrificing feel or sensitivity.

The Evans Hybrid drumset snare batter will answer the prayers of heavy hitters. Evans has not only given them an exceptionally durable head; it has provided a head that projects better across a wide dynamic range.
