EVANS' patented UV-cured coating technology provides durability and consistency. With UV technology, drummers don't have to worry about flaked, chipped, or worn out coatings.
The industry standard Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system allows for adjustment of attack and focus. EMAD provides drummers with an ideal kick drum sound.
Level 360 Technology extends the level playing surface of the drumhead 360 degrees around the drum. The vertically enhanced collar design guarantees even contact with the edge of the drum shell, creating a perfectly level fit.
EVANS' Sound Shaping Technology (SST) is integrated directly on the underside of each drumhead for advanced overtone control. It dials back bright, unwanted overtones and accentuates mids and lows to deliver a balanced sound.

Though you can count on drumheads being round, other aspects, like diameter, ply, and coating vary. Drumheads are made with either 1 or 2 plies of film, only a few millimeters thick, secured with a metal ring around the perimeter. Depending on the head, there may be a coating applied to enhance durability, like on our UV heads. There could also be additional patches or areas of film, like on our Heavyweight Dry heads.
Before modern tech bettered our lives, drumheads were made with animal skin (we continue to replicate this with our synthetic Calftone heads). Nowadays, thin plastic film is most commonly used. The film is secured across a metal ring head, which is then placed atop the drum and tightened.
Drumheads are identified by their diameter or the measurement straight across the center of the drum. Common sizes for snare drums are 13” and 14”. Toms can vary from as little as 6” up to 18”. Bass drumheads are the largest drumhead in a standard drum and will usually be 20” or 22”.
