Evans Drum Heads & Accessories UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle, Lincolnshire

Evans has been at the forefront of drum head innovation for decades. Their UV-cured coating technology — found on the UV1 and UV2 series — is a genuine step forward, delivering a consistent playing surface that holds up far better than traditional coatings over time. The EMAD (Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping) system remains one of the most practical innovations in bass drum head design, allowing drummers to adjust dampening without removing the head.

For tom batters, the G2 is the most popular all-round choice — a two-ply head with a warm, controlled tone that works across virtually every style. The G1 is the single-ply alternative for drummers who want a more open, resonant sound. The EC2 with its SST collar is particularly popular for studio recording, reducing unwanted overtones straight out of the box. For snare drums, the Power Center Reverse Dot, Genera Coated, and Genera HD Dry cover the full range from crisp, cutting tones to dry, controlled responses.
