Evans Snare Drum Heads UK - Into Music Store

Evans produces one of the most comprehensive snare drum head ranges available, covering every tonal character from open and resonant to dry and heavily dampened.

For most drummers, the Power Center Reverse Dot is the natural starting point — a versatile coated single-ply head with a reverse dot for added durability and focused attack that works across rock, pop, funk, and general playing. The UV1 and UV1 Reverse Dot offer the same versatility with Evans' UV-cured coating for improved consistency and longevity. For a more controlled, studio-ready tone, the EC Reverse Dot adds Evans' SST collar for maximum overtone reduction.

For dry, dampened tones, the Genera HD Dry and HD Dry use perforations to dramatically reduce sustain and ring — producing a tight, punchy snare sound without tape. The Hydraulic Red and Black Coated use an oil-filled construction for an even darker, more dampened character associated with classic rock drumming. At the other end of the spectrum, the Calftone produces a warm, vintage snare tone popular in jazz and acoustic contexts.

The dB One low-volume snare head reduces volume by up to 80% for home practice, while the Hazy 300 and Hazy 50 side heads cover snare resonant head replacement in two thickness options. Tune-up kits in UV1 and HD Dry configurations offer a complete batter and side head replacement in one purchase.
