Like original Heavyweights, Heavyweight Dry snare batters have excellent durability and a compressed attack, but add UV-coating to further increase durability, as well as precision-drilled dry vents to reduce overtones and dampen sustain. Two plies of 10mil film make Heavyweight Dry heads exceptionally durable, with a 3mil reverse dot providing additional durability sand focus in the center of the head. Overall, Heavyweight Dry coated drumheads offer a moderate attack, short sustain, and medium tonal character, while eliminating unwanted overtones, making them great for the heaviest hitters in the rock and metal genres. This coated drumhead features Level 360 Technology.

Ideal For: Rock, Metal

Made in the USA at our New York production facility.

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.

I have been using the HD Dry for years now. I was hesitant to move to another head, but I wanted to try something that was more durable. This head sounds just like the HD dry once broken in and it takes a beating! This is my new go-to Snare head!

I love this snare head, great sound and feel. Its definitely the sound ive been looking for. It has a slight warm yet controlled soind with minimal ovetones.
