When it comes to snare drum heads, there are certain companies that are miles ahead of others when it comes to popularity and innovation. Of course, this most definitely includes Evans - in fact, it was Evans who invented the synthetic drumhead way back in 1956. Today, Evans snare drum heads are preferred by many of today's top drummers, including Glenn Kotche of Wilco, Dennis Chambers of Santana and Pat Mastelotto of King Crimson. Want to add your name to that roster? Well you're definitely in the right place: in this catalog, you'll discover that Evans specializes in a wide range of snare drum heads to suit every style and price range.

To make your search easier, you might want to consider narrowing down your choices to "resonant" or "batter". Resonant (bottom) heads come in a variety of thicknesses, each of which vary in sound. In general, thicker heads have stronger sustain and produce a deeper sound. If you want a warmer sound without any loss in durability, a thicker coated resonant head is the way to go - sound appealing? Check out the G Plus Coated Drumhead - the crisp attack and long-lasting staying power of this single-ply head make it a popular choice among hard hitters.

Now for those who are searching for a batter (top) drum head, there are plenty of clear and coated options in both single-ply and double-ply construction types. For jazz and light rock, single-ply batter heads are your best course of action. For example, the Power Center Reverse Dot Head is a top seller that will create a fat backbeat and rings out loud and clear when struck on the edges. As for all you punk and metal drummers, it's best to go with a double-ply snare drum head since they have a more focused tone and increased durability. Need a suggestion? Feast your eyes on the EC Snare Coated Batter Head. On stage or in the studio, this head will improve the sound of any ferocious player.

And you can trust us when we say that Evans' snare drum head choices go well beyond those models. After all, everyone has their own drumming technique and Evans is committed to anyone who is passionate about keeping the beat. Whether you prefer the bright attack of a single-ply head or the focus and durability offered by two plies, this selection is jam-packed with snare drum heads from one of the world's most famous drum head manufacturers.
