Great sounding snare head

I was a little worried that putting this snare head on my 14x6,5 Pears Sensitone snare would kill it's sound because of the dry nature of the head, but boy was I wrong. This snare head is great.

Evans

Evans drum skins are top quality. The sound is perfect, they are durable and last long. I would highly recommend Evans over and above any other skin brand.

As for Snare batters - simply from personal flavour in sound I definitely prefer the ST and HD dry skins. This Genera is great, but I find the sound a little hard to tame for my taste.

Still, Evans quality is amazing.

My favourites by far :-)

Amazing for recordings

I'm using a custom 14x7 aluminium snare, and this head is the absolute best for recordings. I've been doing studio sessions for the past years, and this my go-to everytime.

Just amazing!

A Steel Snare's Life Partner

I have never looked back from the Evans Genera HD heads for my old, 2nd hand Pearl Steel Snare. It sounds absolutely studio ready every time I tune up one of these heads, old or new, they retain tone and attack unlike other heads I've used in the past, and help produce firecracker tones when executed with a rimshot, really great heads.

Very dry and flat

But that's not at all bad. Maybe you want a flat sound as opposed to some reverb.

I have put this on a wood shell snare and also put a wide snare on the resonant head. All works great. Dry, flat sound. Rim shots deadened.

It has its own unique sound and if you are looking to have a change of sound on your snare this can be that change.

Great head with strong atack and fast sustain

I'm using this head on a Mapex black panther, it sounds great both on high and low tunings, the attack is strong and it has a moderate amount of sustain. I'm using it with a lower tuning and it sounds great with a well defined body and huge attack.
