How to Choose a Snare Drumhead

Snare drumheads can have a significant impact on the sound of your kit. EVANS makes a variety of snare heads, to give you everything from damp “thuds” to sharp “pings”. Your sonic preferences are important, but to choose a snare drumhead you need to first pick a size. Not all EVANS heads come in all sizes, so you’ll definitely want to start there.

Once you know the size of your snare, you can further narrow down your snare batter options by choosing single or double ply. Thinner heads will have more attack and sound punchy, defined, and articulate, while thicker heads have a tone which will blend in a bit more. Therefore, in general, single ply heads are brighter, while double ply heads are darker. However, two plies will give you more of another important aspect of snare heads: durability.

EVANS Snare drumhead product pages have detailed explanations of each head. You can find any sound you’re looking for—and all EVANS heads feature Level 360 Technology to provide ease of tuning, extended pitch range, and optimum quality of sound. There are tried-and-true single ply options like Power Center Reverse Dot, which provide a definitive snare sound, fat backbeat, and solid rebound. There are also coated, double ply heads like UV2, which use patented UV-cured coating to create a premier drumhead with increased attack and maximum durability.

There are no shortage of options when it comes to EVANS snare batters. So, no matter what your snare drumhead preference, we’ve got you covered. And if you need help finding your perfect drumhead, let our Drumhead Finder guide you with a few simple questions.

My go to snare head. The feel and sound are incredible. No gels or wallets required; even in the recording studio. For most of my snare drums it provides just the right combination of dampening and ring. These last longer than the standard snare head from the other company. And, in the rare instance that I need a bit more ring, I’ll fit the snare with a UV1 along with about a one inch piece of a cut dampening ring closet to the player taped on with a minimal amount of gaffers tape. The Genera Dry, though, works in over 90% of my applications. It’s been a part of my snare sound for decades.

by far, my favorite drum head for a snare drum

A well made batter head. I am initially using a low tuning and it sounds just as I want. Thank you Evans.
