Evans 14" Genera Dry Coated Snare Reviews

Bye bye harmonics!

A very useful head if you wish to reduce the harmonics and get a very clean sound. This is the second one I get and I'm very happy with it!

Perfect choice for the reasonable price!

Evan dry coated snare is definitely among the best products balancind price and quality you can find here.

very happy !

transformed the snare with new strings

Lovely sound

I bought this for to replace my old drum head and I was impressed by the sound. The vent holes inside the drum head provide a dry and articulate sound that I wasn't able to achieve before without muffling. The only downside is that it is not as durable as I would like.

Very good sounding both for wooden and metal snares and also very durable one!

Evans awesome as always

Was a little dubious initially, but great sound and has lasted well.

Great drum head

This drum head is perfect for a dry sounding snare. Got exactly what I wanted.

Quality and dry sound, as expected.

Perfect for my needs

Its dry but not as dry as i expected it to be (which is good). Tuning on my custom maple snare was really easy and fast, so far the best drumhead i've ever used.

Best head on market PERIOD

So, I put this head on my Starphonic Alluminium snare and I got sound I dreamed about. I tuned it very high. Sound is perfect combination between dark and clear. It has some kind of depth to it even when tuned high. When I smash rim shot, ussualy with high tuned heads you will feel that rimshot in your ears and head but with this head when I rimshot I can feel it in my chest like you can feel bass drum kick when your standing in front of one. I never thought some drumhead can behave like this in high tunning.

Best buy this year for sure!

14" Genera Dry

Great sound, great quality.

Great product

Exactly what I was looking for, the reviews helped me pick the best head for me.

Great, but not perfect!

Really loved the sound of this head. Put it on my vintage Roger's Dyna-sonic and cranked it up. Love this head! If you're after that dry, cracking snare sound - and if you bought this i'm sure you are - then this does the job very well. It made that shell sing, whilst still giving you the tonality of the shell you use it. Only problem - however - is i found that it wasnt as durable as some of the other snare heads i've used. After a couple sessions i found it didn't hold tune as well and it struggled to really sing like when i first got it, and it started to sag after only a few hours of playing. However, perfect for studio, or any professional drummer with a bigger budget. Highly recommend, but not as a long term!

Really one of the best

Sound, quality is the best. It's classy, and you tune it not so often, and it lives quite long (usually i change it when it looks not so white and not because of the bad sound)

Focused Sound

Very focused sound with warm low frequencies appropriate for low and hi tension tuning. The extra ring and the holes makes this head very responsible in overtones. Music styles: mostly funk, rnb, jazz.

Good

I tried this snare top on wooden and steel snare drums, I find out that for me it sounds better with wooden (Oak) snare drum. The sound is rich, perfect for recording sessions if you like short and penetrating sound. I use moon gel demfers to make sound softer when playing live.

Not much words are needed for this head.

Does the job impecably. A very dry sound.

Works wonders on my alluminum snare!

Top Great Product

My favorite. Killing sound on snare.

Not bad!

I have a pretty cheap aluminium snare and I apply this head to it. I use it live and for recording

Although the snare's cheap, the head surely did its trick. What I found with these heads was that they are very easy to tune. Took me just a few mins to tune it without using a tune-bot tuner and then boom i got the sound I wanted by just playing around with the tuning. I think it sounds amazing when the snare's tuned tightly with this head, and the is suitable for metal drummers

Evans didn't lie about this head. The head features a warm tone with focused sustain. My ears agree that the additional dry vents eliminate overtones and stray harmonics for a crisp, defined attack. Nice mid tone sound

No cons.

Great all purpose drum head.

Great sound, easy to tune and durable.
