we use these on our marching snares at my school, and i gotta say they work great for both applications. Evans make some killer heads and this is no exception

Black Panther + Evans + your technique = perfect sound

I was using these in the 80s & 90s. Awesome heads, great attack and durability.

These heads are actually meant for heavy marching drumming, but it still sounds Killer!

This is generally used as a marching head. Thing is damn bulletpeoof

my evans ec1 snare head is still dent free after almost 7 years of heavy use, so yeah evans is quality. And it actually sounds great.

I use one of these on my 13" Joey Jordison snare. Rims shots sound like gunfire.

I just bought a 14 and a 13....so amazing!!!

Love the snare sound. First heard the snare head used by jojo mayer. He has his snare cranked up to a pretty high tuning

Kit sounds killer man

It sounds amazing without the wires, ideal for a drum riff kinda thing like from Ticks and Leeches by Tool. Sounds almost tribal. Keep it up :)

WOW i looked up this drum head so I could have an idea of what it sounds like and you happen to have the same snare as me. Sounds epic. Very convenient that it's the same snare.

between this and the uv1 calftone58 an ambassador diplomat and powerstroke you can make one snare do any gig or any recording situation a drummer could run into. it's SO much better to spend 150 on heads and have a proper snare like a 6.5 nob rather than 150-300 on a second snare or two 300 dollar snares!

1:45 - awwww yeeeaaahhh

Now that you have done videos on tom and snare heads. I'd love to know what kick drum head you you to couple with those other heads

imma try one out

holy fuck that head sound fucking beastly, meshes with the toms fantasticlly

I've been using hybrid gold for atleast a decade now but they don't make it in a 12". Which is what I prefer as a snare size now.

Would be great to know size / depth of the snare used and also, have you ever used these with a trigger (like Roland) and how well does it respond being of a fiber type head?

This works with aluminum Ludwig snare...my best sound ever

hey man! thanks for the vid. I went through a myriad of different snare head demos and REALLY loved this heads sound and went to check reviews finding this vid .... after checking this vid im going to be using the Hazy 300 as well. question though, what kind of tension do you have on your snare head and resonant head? do you use tuning or feel?

Hey Ben - as you have obviously tried a lot, I have a question (sorry, it's longer, thanks a lot in advance for your reply). I'm generally someone who likes his drums to be wide open and warm. I generally only muffle the kickdrum (only the batter head with a pillow to be able to alternate between beater on/off sound), but the rest is unmuffled. I love overtones. Now while recording, I run into the problem that while I actually like the amount of OVERtones, the fundamental (!) tone of the drum is just excruciatingly loud in the close mics. I know that some of it is proximity effect of the dynamic mic, which I already have backed off quite a bit to reduce that low-mid tone (250-400 Hz). I could think about using a condenser, sure, but I wanted to think about head choice as well. At the moment I use a Remo Coated Embassador, which would be a Coated G2 in Evans I believe (?) - but I'm not a brand guy (apart from maybe meinl cymbals). A double ply head with great responsiveness, a warm and thick tone, still beautfully ringing overtones (love those on my cast bell bronze). But if I could, I indeed would like to reduce it's fundamental tone by more than a bit - not only for the mics, but in general. The proble mis, every muffling I apply will always take away all my beloved overtones (I'm anal about tuning so they are clear and pleasant instead of ringy and unharmonic). So I can't really use any muffling to reduce it, else I lose what I look for in my snare sound altogether. I tried a center-dotted head, which was too dead for me. Your kevlar head would be way too dead for my purpose as well. I know Evans is dryer than Remo (comparing similar head constructions), so I might try a G2, but I don't know how much effect it will have. Any suggestions? Thanks and sorry for the length!

omg this seems to be exactly what I've been looking for, might match perfectly my special miking technique through hole in snare reso head I "invented" myself :))

i got the level 360... but this is from another level

Damn you are good ! :D

Nice

please respond to this i've searched for this online and i can't find a answer.... can you put that head on a wooden snare? will it damage the snare's bearing edge? because i have a really expensive custum snare and i really don't wanna damage but i really love that head...

Nice but damn expensive I just saw. Nice playing also man going to have a try at that groove.

Good Video

$45. I'll just get a Genera HD Dry

Hi

It's a marching snare head

What happens if you put it on a marching snare

I've only ever played Remo, but I'm really interested in trying some new heads, so I may have to go for this snare head, thanks Ben! Do you think this head will sound good on a 5.5" Ludwig snare?

What head do you have on the snare-side?

Hey ben, Serious Question. What snare head do you use?? Please Respond!!

Did you put die cast hoops on that Mapex snare or did they do that for you?

The surprising thing about this head is the actually usable snares-off sound

Just saw these on Amazon. They are going for nearly $60 per head.

I have seen videos of a few drummers using the head live and it seems to either sound good or terrible. Sometimes all the tone of the drum seems to be sucked out and all you are left with is snare buzz. Doesn't seem like an issue for you though.

Question..i want this drum for marching band lessions but I can see you have it for a different propose.. does it can be tune for marching band?

Dear ben, I was wondering of you could use the hybrid head on a wood shell snare, thanks.

Why..the hell..haven't I heard of this head sooner? o.o

UV1?

1:27 at 1.75x speed. ;).

So, do you not use any dampening products on this head then? Sounds amazing if you don't.

It doseint sound like a marching snare head if its like one

Fiiiiiiiiiifty quid though!

First

a little thudy and absolutely no highlights around the rim

Remo heads are way better
