Hard-hitting snare players who crave great tone ? prepare to meet your match! The Evans Heavyweight Dry snare head is engineered to meet the demands of five-alarm touring drummers in the heat of battle. This head's 2-ply, 20-mil construction supplies maximum punch in the studio and added durability on the tour circuit. On the underside of the head is a 3-mil reverse dot to help focus attack for fatter backbeats and fuller rimshots. A series of vents along the outer edge dries out unwanted overring to fast track a record-ready sound. The Heavyweight Dry also features Evans' UV curing to extend the life of the head coating. Even old and irregular snare shells are no impedance to the Heavyweight Dry's stellar tone; its Level 360 collar allows this head to sit balanced at every point on your bearing edge to dramatically enhance tone and tuning potential. The Evans Heavyweight Dry snare head from Sweetwater is proof that durability doesn't mean having to compromise on tone.
