Product DescriptionWhether you play rock, jazz, country or metal, the Evans Genera HD Dry Snare Drum Head is a true all-purpose choice. The 14? coated snare drum head is made using two plies of film, a 5mil outer ply and a 7.5mil inner ply, that yields an aggressive rimshot and balanced response. A 2mil overtone control ring on the underside "floats" with the head, eliminating excessive overtones and controlling sustain. This snare drum head barks live yet is ideal for the studio. In addition, the HD Dry features small precision-drilled vent holes around the edge of the drum head that eliminate stray harmonics, control sustain and tighten the sound. Enhanced with revolutionary Level 360 technology, the white snare drum head is easier to tune, with a wider tonal range than ever before. Applying the new Level 360 collar shape to the drum head allows it to seat itself properly and in turn provides a head that is easy to tune and a sound that is studio ready.
