Snare Drum Heads
Before choosing a snare drum head, there are a few questions to ask yourself. Firstly, are you searching for a resonant (bottom) head or a batter (top) head? You'll also want to consider how thick you want your snare drum head to be: single-ply heads are thinner and produce a bright tone with top-notch sustain, which makes them ideal for lighter styles like jazz and acoustic rock. If this sounds like what you want, check out the Evans EC Reverse Dot Coated Drumhead. This batter head has an Edge Control ring mounted on its underside to decrease unwanted mid-range frequencies and increase its attack. Or, if you're searching for a single-ply resonant head, try the Remo Ambassador Hazy Snare Side Head. Made with 3mm Mylar film, this head delivers a very warm, open sound that's preferred by many pros in the industry.
Now, for all you hard-hitting drummers, you'll want to go with a double-ply snare drum head. The strong focus, quick decay and staying power of double-ply heads make them favored by drummers who play punk, metal and funk. There are more than enough top-rated 2-ply batter snare heads here, including the Remo Black X Batter Drumhead and the Evans ST Dry Coated Snare Drumhead.
Honestly, there are so many different snare drum heads to choose from these days, you could spend years trying out different types to see what suits your style best - of course, that's a good thing when you consider that a great drummer is a versatile one. When you get right down to it, there's a reason why the snare drum is often referred to as "the heart of a drum set". Along with your kick drum, it's what most of your beats are based around, and finding a wide variety of snare drum heads to pick from is as easy as sticking to this section.
