Popular Evans Head Series

  • G2 - the classic two-ply batter head, delivering a warm, controlled tone with reduced overtones. Available in clear and coated finishes across all standard tom sizes
  • G1 - a single-ply head offering a more open, resonant sound with a wider dynamic range, ideal for jazz, acoustic, and lighter playing styles
  • UV1 - Evans' UV-cured coating delivers a consistent, smooth surface that won't flake or wear unevenly, with a warm, focused tone suited to snare and tom batters
  • UV2 - a two-ply UV-coated head combining the durability of a double-ply construction with the tonal consistency of UV curing - great for rock and heavier playing
  • EMAD - Evans' flagship bass drum batter head, featuring an externally mounted adjustable damping system for dialling in the perfect low-end punch
  • EQ3 - a versatile bass drum head with a built-in internal damping ring, available in clear, coated, and resonant versions
  • EC2 - a two-ply head with Evans' Sound Shaping Technology (SST) collar, reducing unwanted overtones for a focused, studio-ready tone straight out of the box
  • Calftone - a synthetic calfskin-style head that replicates the warm, vintage tone of natural hide without the tuning instability

Frequently Asked Questions

The most popular Evans series include the G2 (two-ply, warm and controlled), G1 (single-ply, open and resonant), UV1 and UV2 (UV-cured coating for consistency and durability), EMAD (adjustable damping bass drum head), EC2 (SST collar for reduced overtones), and EQ3 (built-in damping ring for bass drums). Each series is designed for different playing styles and tonal preferences.
The UV1 is a single-ply head with a UV-cured coating, offering a warm, focused tone ideal for snare and tom batters in lighter to mid-weight playing. The UV2 is a two-ply version of the same technology, providing more durability and a slightly more controlled, punchy tone suited to heavier playing styles such as rock and metal.
The EMAD is Evans' most popular bass drum batter head, featuring an externally mounted adjustable damping ring that lets you dial in your preferred level of attack and sustain. The EQ3 is a great alternative with a built-in internal damping ring. For resonant heads, the EQ3 Reso and EMAD Reso are the most commonly paired options.
