Evans HD Drum Head 14" 2-Ply

The Evans HD 14” snare head sits at the intersection of durability and responsive tone, engineered by Evans’ USA-based design team. The Heavy Duty construction pairs a coated 5mil outer ply with a 7.5mil inner ply, creating a head that prioritises punch and definition over sustain. This architecture delivers a slightly more articulate attack and moderately bright character–characteristics that suit snare work across studio, live, and practice settings where consistency matters.

A 2mil control ring bonded to the underside manages unwanted overtones, tightening the sonic footprint without killing resonance entirely. The coated outer layer extends head life significantly compared to uncoated alternatives, resisting wear from stick and brush contact. Evans’ Level 360 Technology underpins the design, optimising the bearing edge interface to broaden tuning range and stabilise pitch stability across the head’s playing surface.
