How to tune your drum set

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.

Sound Profile

Calftone Snare Tune Up Kit

Calftone has a vintage look with a deceptively modern sound. Its synthetic calfskin construction yields a warm, full, and rich snare tone, while leaving plenty of room for sonic experimentation. When combined with an Evans Snare Side 300 head and a Puresound Concert Series 16-strand snare wire, Calftone’s exceptional warmth and response begin to truly stand out.

Carter Mclean

“The Calftone & Snare Side 300 gives me total control. It’s resonant & warm enough for lower open tunings but can also handle the articulation. It’s my go-to combo.”

Jonathan Barber

“If you're going for a warm tone the Calftone drumhead is the one. The Puresound wire design lays perfectly flat on the resonant side of the snare, bringing the snare drum to life.”
