Was looking for a replacement head on a birch snare drum previously fitted with a Remo Ambassador. I had used the Evans Dry before on another (albeit steel) snare drum with good results. This was going at a very good price but I was a little worried that it might be too dry being the HD Dry version (this has a thin underlay of dampening material - a bit like an "O" ring) fitted underneath the head as well as the small vent holes around the perimeter. Needn't have worried though, as (coupled with a new Evans glass 500 head on the snare side) I got a very nice focussed sound which suits my playing & the music genre . I'm not a fan of moongel or other external dampeners, so this head has met expectations. Probably more suited to pop/rock music than (say) light jazz or quiet styles, and would seem to be a good choice for recording or close-miking up.You need to think about what you're after before buying though as there are two versions and if you need a lively open sound then this type of head may not suit at all.

Buen producto

Une référence. Elle coupe très bien les harmoniques. Son mat et claquant. Plusieurs types de jeu possible. C'est chaud, ça sonne.

Durch die kleinen Löcher am Rand und der Dicke des Fells werden die teils agressiven Obertöne der Kupferkessel gut bedämpft. Knallt immer noch, aber schmerzt nicht mehr in den Ohren. Besonders hilfreich bei günstigeren Kupferkesseln deren Obertöne nicht sauber abgestimmt sind.

Calidad esperada e la marca. Brinda el sonido alto y seco que necesito.
