The old rules no longer apply.
The Evans Hybrid Coated Snare Drum Batter Head, originally baptized on the football field, is a drumhead
that is durable to the extreme, yet does not sacrifice sensitivity. This is a result of the use of 2 unique high-tensile fibers,
one chosen for flexibility and the other for durability. The snare batter drumhead answers the wishes of heavy rockers, delivering
heightened attack and unprecedented resistance to breaking. The most durable of Evans heads, the hybrid coated snare drumhead
offers an intriguing aesthetic. A layer of Evans' unique "frosted" coating allows the gray twill inner weave to clearly show
through.
The Evans Hybrid Snare Drum Batter head borrows from its revolutionary sister, the Hybrid Marching Snare Batter and, thus,
is the most durable of Evans' drum set heads and is already in use by metal drummers Bobby Jarzombek and Mike Wengren. These
artists are delighting in having a drumhead that provides such extreme durability and attack without sacrificing feel or sensitivity.
The
Evans Hybrid Snare Drum Batter head answers the prayers of heavy hitters. Evans has not only given them an exceptionally durable
head; it has provided a drumhead that projects better across a wide dynamic range.
Feel, sensitivity, projection, and durability... all rolled into one head.
