Bode Music Gear - Evans Drumheads Comparison - Tom Heads

[@M123OCT]

Having attempted (badly) to make a video comparing only two drums, I can really appreciate the time and work that went into making this flawless video. To change the heads for every step, to play and run all the parts together so it flowed, and to achieve the consistency of tuning must have taken ages. This deserves many more views. Good job.

[@erichoward8463]

Great comparison! Back to back to back like this is the ONLY way to do this sort of thing. No talking in between, no downtime. Great job!

Thanks!

Ec2 Clear is cool

[@texxhexxmm]

time for UV1/2 update :)

[@oldowl4290]

FINALLY, the BEST Evans drum head demo video on KZbin. They should pay you $10 each time it gets played. This is how all head demos should be done. Same tom beat, no cymbals, no excessive snare rolls, no BS. THANK YOU.

[@jamesparker5018]

This is the best comparison video I have ever seen - drums, cymbals, guitars, amps, pedals, anything - the best. Well done, and thank you for taking all of that effort for a 4min video. It was very very helpful.

[@TheKendoggie]

J1 etched.... Yes please

[@natefreyredrums]

great demonstration, is so much easier to choose now solid drummer🤘

[@paullennox2404]

Brilliant consistency! Lovely playing and thanks for the vid, very helpful

[@douglasdrum1993]

Beautiful, flawless work. The best video in the segment, shot! Congratulations to those involved and thank you.

[@gregwesthoff6206]

Excellent display of what each different head sounds like on the video . That helped me make my choice in drum selection.

[@derekneu6524]

Awesome vid. To the point, back to back so easy to compare. I wish more channels did vids like this.

[@vongalan]

Thank you so much!! That's the best Evans drum head comparison I've never watched.

[@dantelamusta]

Thank you so much for doing this! I've been relying on descriptions that make sense in my head but become what i didn't expect once applied to a drum kit.

[@rickbiessman6084]

Brilliant. Thank you guys. This is easily the best back to back comparison of Evans heads I’ve come across so far!

[@francore4950]

awesome. i love the evans Ec 2 Clear.

[@Esignam32713]

Can you do something like this for the reso heads please?????

[@PerfectSense77]

Thank you! Best Evans comparison on KZbin!

[@jsmallsawe]

Dude, mad props. Holy smokes, this took A LOT of work to put together for you. Thanks!

[@charliewilson3234]

That was one of the BEST drum head review I've ever seen. Damn EVANS should pay you tons for this!!! Thank You very much.

[@BuckAugust]

This is great! Thank you for posting it!!

[@merecatTV]

Outstanding job! Such consistency of tuning and playing, and all so seamlessly edited.

[@UCS0608]

This is the way to do this!! Straight no "showing off" drumming, good information about what gear is used etc. Hats off, no doubt about it! However, a small footnote. It's a single and specific way of tuning and some heads benefit more from this tuning than others. Therefore it's important that you know the specifications of all the heads. If for example you're looking for a more open, higher tone you'll probably go for a one layer head (G1 clear or coated) and on the other hand, if you're looking for a dampenend 70s punch you'll like a Hydrolic. But still the head needs the right tuning for the right purpose. Therefore, the best sounding drumhead is this test isn't neccesarely the right head for you if you're looking for a different sound! I personally prefer the Hybrid Glass in this video. Still, on my drums I'd go for a G1 coated, a G2 coated, because I like a higher tuning, especially from the bottomhead. Regards, Coos Grevelink UnderCover Studio, the Netherlands

[@cygnux]

Thank you! I've been looking for a video like this for a hour. Exactly what I was looking for.

[@JimPauls]

The changes are all pretty subtle one after the other and then the hybrid glass comes in and changes everything

[@georgeswca]

The EC2 heads are beautiful sounding

[@matthewkocher8443]

The hybrid glasses sounded so good!

[@gasparin4188]

Best drumhead comparison video ever

[@DrumAttic]

Excellent comparison! Thank you for this!

[@charliewilson3234]

Fantastic idea for checking out head. Thanks

[@xichael]

The J1s sound great! Why is this the only video I can find of these on toms?

[@snapascrew]

Clear G2 is the winner for me personally for rack tom. It's a toss up between that and the EC2 on the floor. I think Clear g2 with a moon gel is the best tone. Plenty of attack and sustain.

[@HaloAdmiral]

I dunno, I am personally a big fan of Coated G1's and Coated G12's. Then again, that is just me being more in the Funk/Fusion/Jazz setting. Hydraulics are great, too!

[@bondo1955]

That’s a hard days work Thanks best Tom head video out there

[@gustavoizing9920]

Estava esperando este comparativo faz tempo obrigado 🥁👌

[@entorum]

Great work and effort into this video

[@peanutbutter4223]

for the love of all that is good, please make a tuning video

[@PackdHouse]

Simple and to the point. Thank you so much for making this!

[@ddrumcorner4682]

Theeeee best head comparison vid I've seen! Respek!

[@AmiltonGarcia]

Very very very nice!!! Congratulations e thanks!

[@funkysc100]

If you cant hear the difference i suggest to put on headphones, more volume, and dont watch the video, just listen. :)

[@richardaling5278]

I currently use ec2 clear sst, i think best for a clear attack, tight bottom rocktom. Now i want the j1 etched for more dirty attack/round rockstuff. The company Thomann only has 10/12/13 inch. Evans says there are from 10 to 16inch. I need 8/10/12/14/16 inch. Evans, where can i find the 8?????

[@alecmoravec]

Thanks! This is a really helpful video.

[@MMediaP]

Hybrid glass or hydrolics for they sound so juicy.

[@travislloyd1424]

Thanks for the video extremely beneficial. good dynamics as well! ;)

[@XeRo333]

Really like the hydraulic heads! Very nice dead sound with punch. Definitely a sound I like👍🏼

[@aaronmichaels8347]

Would have loved to have heard what the Remo Emperor Black Suede sounded like.

[@Jarhead1313]

I thought I'd never stop using Ec2 batters with G1 resos, until now this is the first time I've heard the Hybrid Glass and I don't know what rock I been under but I'm in love with the sound of them. Great video, Should I keep my G1 Reso's when I make the switch? What Resos are you using during this video?

[@ΣάββαςΤσελεγκερίδης]

Really helpful thanks!!!!

[@MadWinter889]

BTW "Hybrid glass" are Hydraulic Glass. Just a typo.

[@austingoodrich1468]

Considering either Onyx or EC2 Clears; seem very familiar. Can anyone weigh in on the differences?

[@sachaharlan2578]

Can someone tell me if the Evans Hybrid Glass exist? I can't find them anywhere and I'm wondering if they meant Hydraulic Glass.

[@PalenAdler]

I think it's just hidraulic

[@paultowns]

Thank you for doing this!!!!

[@J_Z666]

hydraulic blacks are my fav and my go to out of all tom heads

[@macp988]

that was helpful, thanks for the vid!

[@brrosskiee]

where did you get the hybrid glass from

[@XeRo333]

How're you tuning the toms? With a Tune-Bot, Evans Torque key, DrumDial? Like the sound of both the Hydraulic heads

[@memogarcia8233]

Hi Federico!! What reso drumheads do you use?

[@Drumsholic]

I think the winner is G2 Coated!

[@ivanbajovic3476]

absolutely agree

[@CarlosGonzalez-ml8jl]

Where is the uv1

[@warrenoids]

Didn't exist yet, check the date.

[@diedraak1]

Hey man great video What interval is that between the toms?

[@SKragseth]

Any drum dial settings? Kit sounds great and dude great timing!

[@TheDivergentDrummer]

you should be figuring out the resonant frequency of the shell first. Each drum / head combo will be different. I strip the shells down to just the lugs, hold em in my hand and play notes on the keyboard (loud!) until i feel the shell resonate in my hand. That will be the note that that shell most resonates at and is in harmony with. From there, tune the top head to that pitch, evenly, and fine tune it with the drum dial, so that you are at the desired note, and the drum dial is consistent across all lugs. Write down the note value for the shell as that will never change, and the DD tension gauge reading for those heads. Then, mutting the batter side, tune the reso, a minor third lower, get it tensioned evenly, and use the drum dial to dial it in to a number you can keep for reference. In this configuration, the top head will give you your pitch, and the bottom can be adjusted up or down to control the sustain. Try and stay within that minor third between the top and bottom.

[@mlklotusmann6749]

Thank you

[@davidmartin6959]

dommage qu'il y a pas les uv1

[@larryalexander900]

G14, nice deep thud, I like it.

[@dudemanaric]

how do you tune your toms?

[@MrDainius1]

What method you use to tune in to the same tone?

[@Andy_Schmidt]

Were you guys using any named brands for the resonant heads or just the stock heads? Thank you very much for this helpful video!

[@ajmarkle96]

+Andy Schmidt They used Evans Genera for resonant heads

[@UCS0608]

It's all in the description of the video!! Heads, gear etc!

[@ArtexHardstyle02]

I can't make up my mind between J1 Etched and the Hydraulic Black

[@muzomonty6616]

Just wondering if any EQ was used.

[@marko1970]

Totally, am 100% positive the drum mics where all eq'd, compression too !!! The microphone choices where cool, and to get such a round sound out of a 414, guarantees signal processing, plus it was tastefully done, though am not convinced they left everything the same for every head ;-) .

[@tyler4girlz]

I liked them all haha. Even the Hydraulics were pretty cool.

[@Zac_W]

bravo！！！

[@MauiBoyTrav]

The differences are barely noticeable. The main difference I heard was between coated and clear heads.

[@aggelossamaras7849]

g2 clear maybe!

[@borisdespidre7191]

Can someone name the song at the beginning and end of the video please. I don't see it in the credits.

[@freakyfernanq682]

Stevie Wonder-Master Blaster

[@borisdespidre7191]

Thanks!

[@freakyfernanq682]

Boris Despidre np is a pretty good song

[@StumptownDrummer]

The "Hybrid Glass" heads are Hydraulic Glass, not Hybrid.

[@joshuapickett8095]

This is how you do a comparison video. Play the same riff the whole time. Why cant everyone do that?

Always liked G2 coated.

[@christopherguayapersad1043]

Monster Mash i hav g2 on my set..but those ec2 had a nice depth n bend 2 them

[@stephenlowrie4490]

the clear ones give less reso

Coated G2s!

[@johndoe9450]

I don't know if Evans payed you to do this. I only know they didn't pay you enough.

[@nicolasvargas4413]

sounds better than REMO

[@renemendoza26]

G2 Clear win !,,!.

[@rickyharrisdrums]

they all sound the same to me lol
