Evans 15" Strata 1000 1-Ply Snare Drum Head

Evans' Strata 1000 is a 15" single–ply snare head engineered to deliver a darker, warmer tone that mimics the acoustic character of traditional calfskin. The 10mil film thickness is the defining specification here–thicker than many modern alternatives, which accounts for the instrument's mellowed response. Evans' Level 360 technology extends the effective playing surface 360 degrees around the drum, addressing a practical problem: uneven bearing edge contact that affects tuning stability and tonal consistency across the head.

Construction centres on the vertically enhanced collar design, which guarantees even contact with the drum shell's bearing edge. This precision in contact geometry directly influences ease of tuning and how predictably the head responds across its range. The standard coating treatment replicates calf qualities without the maintenance demands or cost of genuine membrane heads. The single ply architecture minimises mass while the 10mil gauge provides sufficient material to resist overtones and project a focused, controlled sound across studio and stage applications.
