Evans ST Dry Coated Snare Drumhead

Comments about Evans ST Dry Coated Snare Drumhead:

Finally a snare head that you can abuse and will also get rid of that horrable high end ring. My Pearl Reference snare is now alive, Everyone will notice the sound so buy it and try it, you wont go back to any other head.

I put this head on one of my stainless snares, which had always been a bit too bright-sounding. No such problem any more. The head allows a bit of brightness, owing to the thickness of the plies, but the dry venting works well to tighten things up nicely. I like it a lot.

I've had my snare for quite some time and i didn't think that the snare would sound much different with a new head.When i got this head, it was as if i bought a new snare. You can tune it tight and it wont stress from rim shots or straight hard shots. This head has the best pop that i've heard and is VERY DURABLE for hard players. It's worth more than it's tag.

Before playing this head, I praised the EC Reverse Dot Snare head as the best of its kind. After wanting to try something new, I went for this Evans ST Dry head and I've now crowned this achievement as the best! Ghost notes on this head project more clearly than the EC Reverse Dot, and the ghost notes are much more sensitive. Another thing about this head is that it's very diverse because you can tune it soft, medium, or crank it super tight; the EC can only sound good when tuned tightly. But tuning this baby tightly (how I prefer it) will get you a much louder and crispier sound than the EC Reverse Dot even with it being less durable. This head is a must-buy if you're looking to play live. The Evans ST Dry is louder, Deeper, Badder, and Better than ever!

I have a 10 ply maple snare 14x8 with 4 vent holes and I wanted to get all the power without all the ring so I tried this head and wow just as expected. It has an amazing rim shot the best I've heard and this head is tough I've had it on my snare for almost a year and its still going strong!

I've used Evans for decades and my former snare head of choice was the Genera Dry but owing to a playing situation I've been in for more than five years I noticed I was going through the regular Dry faster. I had experimented with the HD which is fine in its own right and at 5 mils for the second head is only a small fraction 7 mils for the ST, the ST voices similarly to the Genera Dry and YOU CAN'T KILL THIS HEAD, unless your technique is lacking, or perhaps you've had one too many adult beverages - lol!!

You will LOVE this head! You can tune it however you prefer (mine are in the Stewart Copeland range) and your snare has NEVER sounded this articulate or musical!

Best heads for my metal snares. Works very well on Copper, Bronze, Aluminum and Steel. When used with a 42 string snare, gives me a low, wet, rich sound without excessive overtone.

Put this head on a 6 1/2 ×14 metal Ludwig Accent, and I will not need to spend more money on a high end snare.

Wonderful head! Love the tone I get with this head. I don't like a poppy snare sound and the way I tune my snare drum this head is perfect for what I want! Evans does it again!!

I Had Recently Bought A New Snare Drum, A Pearl Limited Edition & I Didn't Care Too Much For The Remo Head That Came With It. I Purchased This Head, Concerned About The Holes Around The Edge of The Head. Switched It Out With This Evans ST Dry, Tuned It The Way I Like It, & Started Playing Around With It For A Bit. I Thought It Sounded Too Loud, And Clashy, Like It Overpowered The Rest of The Drum Set. I Loosened It, & Tried It Again, Still Too Loud. I Replaced It Back To The Original Head That Came With The Drum & It Sounded So Much Better. I Wouldn't Recommend This Drum Head, Unless You Like The Loud & Clashy Sound of A Snare Drum.
