"My favorite head of all time that EVANS makes is the Hybrid Snare head. I hit really hard when I play the snare, obviously. To play the way that I do, which is really, really hard, with a lot of passion, this is the only head that lasts a long time without losing its life. It doesn’t lose its sensitivity or durability either. That is THE snare head, plain and simple."
