Evans 14" Genera HDD Coated Snare Reviews

Ideal head

I used this head on my 14'' x 5.5'' wood snare. I play heavy/psyche rock and this head was beyond my expectation all around.

It lasted long even though I hit hard and sometimes had it loose (I would undo two lugs to get a very short and low sound).

It sounded great regardless of the tension I played at.

It sounded similar to the other coated head by Evans, not sure I heard the difference with the other coated head I purchased in the past.

Another great product from Evans !

Great durability and a controlled tone, removing some of the unwanted ring while still letting the drum breathe.

Nice

Nice finish and sound. the best.

Excellent for reducing metallic ring tone!

I bought this to replace the factory head for a DW Collectors Nickel over Brass Snare.

The result is tight and crisp, yet remaining full when tuned that way.

The Genera removes approx. the same amount of overtone that a single moon gel achieves, but in a way that's more in keeping with the drum's original tone.

6 months in - Robust and still looking good.

Excellent.

Controlled sustain and overtones

This head works well for jazz and music with a lot of rolls, it's responsive with not too much sustain or overtones. I personally prefer a heavier grain for brushes but this one is a good alround skin, is not so "fat" in the sound though, more neutral.

Nice drum head, recommended to try.

This is a nice drum head and really makes a big difference when resonating rings are a particular problem with the snare drum. The only thing I wasn't that satisfied with is that the head is very smooth and does not offer the texture that say a Remo coated ambassador might have. I wanted to use this head on my snare drum but ended up putting it on my 16 floor tom. Evans G2's sound better on my 14x6.5 snare drums.

Dry for wet

Real controle for those anoying overtones!

Great for snares with metal shells, specially aluminum.

Also good for classic wood shells.
