Favorite Evans snare head?

[DrummerBButler2]

I'm looking for the best Evans snare head for a 14x8 inch snare. Pick your favorite Evans snare head!!

 

[shine.fm-youth]

i have a 14x7

and use HD dry over hazy 300
wonderful combo

 

[I love Cheese and drums]

You forgot EC2 and EC1 but I have tried every single head on that list and I'd say HD dry.

I'm currently useing Genera HD over Hazy 300

 

[wmpdrummer13]

The G2 coated over the Hazy 300 is a good combo also but i agree the HD dry over Hazy 300 sounds the best

 

[SuNoAnBuKi]

HD Dry and ST Dry over Hazy 300 are what I always used when I using Evans. With an 8" deep snare you might wanna use a Glass 500.

I have the Evans Power Center Reverse Dot batters on most of my snares. If I know that I'll be doing a lot of brush work, I'll change it to an Evans G1 coated for a bit more sensitivity.

I just bought an EC reverse dot hazy with a hazy 300 on the reso and I like it alot. I didn't vote because I use different heads on different snares. I have a Genera dry hd on my 12. not sure what I 'm putting on my 14, prolly a G-plus. Drum heads are like women, they all act different, yet the same.

 

[DRUMSMYWIFE]

I'm currently using the Evans HD, it's killer.

 

[ShadowDrummer]

I like the regular Super Tough on my 14x6.5 Pearl Ultra-Cast and my 13x5 Rocket Shell.

 

[drummerduba]

I have used the ST Dry and the HD Dry and I much prefer the HD.


Cheers

modern vintage medium weight on the 58 slingerland ply, new orleans special on the supra

EDIT: oh, missed the big EVANS in the title. I don't like their heads. They sound good for a while, then go dead quicker than lightning.

 

[ShadowDrummer]

I threw a slightly used Genera HD on my 14x5.5 Tama Artwood maple over the stock Hazy 300 and it turned out pretty nice.

 

[Optimus Prime]

My favorite Evans snare head is the Genera Dry. Not the HD (double ply) version, just the single ply one.

Sounds great.

 

[xdoseonex]

ST. but NOT dry.

 

[ThePloughman]

Evans J1 Etched on the snare. Over an Ambassador weight Snare side.

I have them on a 5x14 COB, 6.5x14 maple dynasonic, and an 8x14 Superten. Very open. Very responsive.

 

[Asdex]

You forgot G1 too.. I like G1 on snares and EC2 on toms. I'm gonna be trying G1 for toms next time.

 

[Brother_Bong]

Right now I'm sporting EQ3s on my bass drums, Genera dry hd on my side snare, ec reverse dot on my main snare. I intend to replace my toms with G2 top, G1 bottoms. Love me some Evans heads!

 

[DanielTBO]

Genera dry! Single ply!


Wow that rhymes....

 

[J0k3r]

Genera. I've used a lot of Evans but I tune my snare extremely tight to give it that pop that almost makes u wince when u crack on it. lol.

 

[ShadowDrummer]

Well now I've gone bold and got the new Hybrid Snare Batter and waiting for my Glass 500 reso to arrive...so got a remo Ambassador on reso. That hybrid head is killer on a deep snare like the 14x6.5 ultra-cast.
