WHY I SWITCHED TO EVANS DRUMHEADS...

[@angrywolfofficial]

I wanna say thank you for inspiring me to be a drummer. As a kid I was always scared on how my friends would think of me with drums. So I just started watching you and has seen you with kids and it made me stand up and let my friends see how I play. So thank you for everything!

[@imjoezi8776]

I’ve been watching you since I was 11 years old and now I’m 20 which is surreal, I owe so much of my love for music and drums to you (I’m originally a piano player but you inspired me to pick up the sticks as well) you’re definitely one of my biggest inspirations 🙌🖤

[@tylerbailey9329]

For me, Remo drumheads get me to the sounds I hear in my head more than the other brands. I was an Evans fan when I was a kid though and they do have some standout products.

[@Anthonydmusic.21]

Yep. Same I really loved Evans products but I’ve found Remo to have more character and life in them for all drums!

[@marcusjackson4063]

I agree guys. I was evans for a long time but I went back to remo and haven’t looked back. For me with my old school kit they just make it soo much better, I couldn’t get the sound I was hearing in my head with evans, and I’ve found the durability with remo to be better than some of the evans range.

[@antoniokofoed7139]

Remo ambassadors for me. I uses to use ec2 and couldn't get them to sound right with a maple kit.

[@jamesmcmackin8773]

Black Suede Ambassadors are possibly the GOAT of drumheads

[@andrewkalipetis7128]

I'm a bit split on the Remo/Evans debate. Grew up with Remo in the 90s. Mid 00s I went to Aquarian. Now on my main kit I run ebony pinstripes and powerstroke pros on the kicks. On my other kit I used coated g2s and I love them on that kit.

[@jmaguinness]

Whoever sees this comment u are the greatest drummer u were the first drummer I saw on KZbin u have a passion heart and all u do and make my day of whatever u do!!!! U inspired me to do drum covers i been watching you for about 3 years now and all I do Is smile from watching you

[@justingarzamusic]

I, too, exclusively played Remo up until the UV2's came out. They really are a game changer in terms of durability and tone. I switched out both my personal kit and my church kit with the exact same combination.

[@marcusjackson4063]

I love evans heads and you’ve made a good choice, for me personally though after years of playing evans I went back to Remo and for me remo are the drumheads I need and love. I just get the sounds I want outta my kit and I’ve never had a single issue with them.

[@Assimilator702]

Yes I need Remo heads on my snares. There’s more depth, grit and texture to the snare sound compared to Evans heads that sound “flat” and one dimensional in comparison.

[@dalekay9ine]

Anyone who's never tried AQUARIAN, please try them out, esp the super 2s & Response 2s, great heads! Underrated!

[@TrashMojo]

Evans makes great heads and even as someone who exclusively played remo, when I was in sales I'd sell the Evans because they were easier to tune by a mile. I told every newer player buy a set of ec2s. even if you fuck up they'll sounds great. but I've always found that when tuned proper Remo sounds better and can't be beat, especially in studio applications. but tuning is hard lol

[@Alex-Grt]

Thats exact my opinion, tried out evans but came back to remo after realizing exact that lol🔥🤘😁🥁

[@andyp90210]

You can put a set of Pinstripes on even the crappiest kit and if tuned properly, it can make it sound like a million dollars.

[@sydhamelin1265]

@@andyp90210 Yeah, Remo pinstripes are like the default for a great head. Then a coated ambassador on the snare, and it's the fundamental head setup.

[@robertfinch6602]

🧐Wonder about Aquairian??

[@sydhamelin1265]

@@robertfinch6602 Yeah, the superkick 2 is another staple

[@hiptoalieu]

I play EVANS cause of versatility, durability, and also something unique...a great near-field sound from behind the kit! I played some Ambassadors Clears, and from an "at the kit" perspective, Ambassadors just did not have as much tone as my personal EC2 Clears. Also ease of tuning is important when messing with a couple of lugs, when tuning lower, or higher for certain songs, Evans seem to be more receptive to different muffling devices as well!

[@GusOnDrums]

Well said and I fully agree!

[@WavesByWayne]

Well to be fair, an Ambassador is a Single ply head vs the EC2 Clear being more similar to the Remo Pinstripe. So naturally a Double ply head will give more tone. But, I see your point.

[@GusOnDrums]

Well said as well. Howver, Remos gave higher sustain which causes many of its players to need tons of dampening to achieve a focused sound.

[@MrBrombomb]

I love the way Evans Coated H2 heads make single headed toms sound more full.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Lol. There's nothing unique about Evans. They have no tone

[@judahenjoyseducation4549]

the EQ3 kick drum head is by far my favorite head for a kick. I tune it up insanely high and place a light pillow against it while tuning the eq3 reso really low.. tons of attack and PLENTY of low end. couldn't recommend it enough.

[@gregarnone]

I switched to Evans years ago. One of the biggest things I noticed is that the evans heads sit flat on the bearing edge and dont slide around like Remo heads do. I believe this is one of the reasons Evans heads are easier to tune. Have had nothing but great luck with Evans heads.

[@DrRusty5]

I switched to Evans sometime ago... I just felt they offered something different and better over Remo. Still, in the end it is just a preference. Yes PlayerPoints are great "free stuff" 😁

[@SuperFacecloth]

I bought a Pearl session elite kit from the 90's and I'm gonna try the UV2 heads for my first go around. Crazy to find a video with a 90's Pearl kit that s a few steps up, the same week that I'm putting new heads on is just the magic of the internet..

[@GusOnDrums]

Love this video! Some drummers will not share their head choice. Some don't even realize that half of their sound issues are drum head choice.

[@MrPistons4life]

Bro I made the switch back in 2000. Man my Yamaha Oak Custom kit has all UV1 and G1 resos EMAD and EQ3 on the kick, My Recording Customs have the same bottom heads with same kick set up and clear hydraulics on tops, My Tama Swingstar is setup the same as my oaks, I went crazy with my DW acrylic 7pc toms 8-14 have black chromes topside and black resonant 720 on the bottoms UVEMAD floor on the 16 with black resonant 720 also. UVEMAD and EQ5 on the kick UV2 with hazy 300 and pure sound custom snare wires. EVANS HEADS ALLDAY LONG 💪❤💯

[@drraymond57]

Noticed your KRK Rokit monitors in the background, and wondered what your opinion is of them as studio mains, or monitors. Setting up an unfinished basement as a studio, and have some decisions to make. Great drumming and product review as always. Love the channel! Keep it up! Thanks for your input!

[@drumfanatik316]

After years of using Remo, then trying Evans and Aquarian when I started to get dissatisfied with Remos quality and lack of customer service, I finally decided to invest in Evans heads!!! I have EC2’s on one kit for a more focused sound and on the other kit I went with the UV2’s. Man, I couldn’t be happier with the sound and feel of my drums now!!! Not to mention that new Heavyweight HD with the UV coating is incredible!!!

[@michaelglindmyer3336]

I just put reso 7’s on my Toms with the ec2 and man they are so easy to tune and great sounding

[@vgaportauthority9932]

I used to play Remo cause that was all that was available in my area. When we finally got Evans I never touched anything else again. They just sound so good. Especially for me back in the day before my tuning skills were up to snuff.

[@danielgrajeda5837]

The genera dry snare head is the best sounding drum head I've ever used!! I've tried all the different Tom and kick heads, but I always stick with the genera dry snare head. The tunability, the natural dampening and crispness I can't find anywhere else

[@erichanson3356]

Great video. Like you I played Remo pretty exclusively for a number of years. They were nice heads and all, but kind of like you were saying, it always seemed like there'd always be that one head out of the whole set that just wouldn't quite tune up right the way I wanted it. So about 10 years ago or so I tried a set of Evans heads based on the recommendations of some other drummers and they sounded great and had no issues tuning up. Ever since then, I've exclusively used Evans. For my rock kit, I like the emad 2 for my bass drum, g14s for my rack toms, hydraulics for my floor toms, a coated hd genera for my maple snare, a power center reverse dot for my brass snare, and for my little bop kit I like the calftone heads.

[@jdogmcnasty1980]

Evans EC2 Frosted are my head of choice. a little coated on a clear for a sweet blend of tone and punch

[@Nikkikeyo]

I play the EC2 frosted heads as well and love them!

[@drummercarson896]

I love my Evans Drumheads. Black Onyx on the Toms, EC Reverse Dot on the Snare, EMAD on the Kick

[@Jas-ux8br]

I just changed my stock heads that came with a new kit, swapped to Evans G2 coated and sooo happy with the sound

[@TessaAnderson]

I am an evans lover! Evans uv1 ! And I finally set up rewards and found a few boxes around the house so I got some points. I think it’s a great topic and glad that KZbin drummers are helping to create a better sounding generation of drummers than the last few generations

[@blakedmc1989DrumsHD]

hey fellow Evans lover! i had been with Evans for 22 years and i had a way much easier time tuning with Evans than i do with anybody else which it's why i stuck with Evans for years

[@Tyler_Durden987]

... because the Evans endorsement was more lucrative?

[@a.m.creativ]

Or Remo likely wouldn't give him a deal

[@mulberrystreet1979]

Remo are awesome and produces alot of tone but I don’t like the Remo drumheads Collar design because of how exposed the glue overtime the glue will rip out solid from the Rim of the head itself where the glue is poured in and that just makes me constantly changing out drum heads for my snare drum and then I switched to EVANS because of the collar design it don’t rip out that easy and it’s also Durable I love specially their Heavyweight heads and the Onyx and G2’s and I also love how it feels to play evans drum heads it gives me more of that not too soft not too hard of a feeling but still also produces a lot of tone and for me Evans is my number 1 choice of head.

[@Inactiveregret]

I played Evans for years but switched to aquarian. I love the aquarian Focus-X coated, I haven't found a head that provides the same amount of warmth and tone I still use the Evans EMAD kick though

[@ChrisDorrmusic]

I thought I was the only drummer who used Focus-X Heads since I never hear anything about them online. It's getting harder for me to find them and I need something a little more durable so I'll probably start using the Response 2.

[@bencheaney3925]

I’ve used Evans for several years. I just put the black chrome heads on our cheap drum set at church and they made it sound like a name brand set.

[@GusOnDrums]

I love those drum heads. I did the same to my church percussion plus kit as a kid. The drums sounded phenomenal. 💯💪

[@MeshuggahFan-iy6tb]

Dude hell yes!! I absolutely love the black chromes! Super underrated heads. I feel like I’m the only drummer in my local Seattle area scene that uses them. They give you such a nice heavy deep sound with enough sustain to be heard, but not too much to where you need a ton of dampening and also the sound guy at the gig doesn’t have to gate the shit out of your drums lol

[@MrBrombomb]

While I mainly use Remo Drum Heads, I do love the the Evans Coated G2s. I have a Tama Cocktail Jam kit which has Coated G2 batters & an Evans Emad on the kick drum.

[@thomasmoje5926]

The Evans '56 Calftone heads are the best 'faux calf' heads in my opinion..the top bonded layer doesn't 'bubble up' like the other major 'fake calf' head manufacturer heads do. I put Evans G2 white coated batter heads on the toms on one of my kits and they really woke the toms up. I also have an Evans HD Genera Dry batter head on a 4 x 13" acrylic shell snare drum that I made and it took out a lot of the excessive ring in that drum. Altogether I'm quite pleased with my experiments with Evans heads.

[@LBD-2021]

I have some Evans sound off drum mutes. I love them!🥁🥁🥁🥁

[@rol_saave]

I have went threw all brands as well and I have always went back to remo for Toms & Snare… For kick I do use the Evans Emad but will use just about any Remo Kick head and will also throw on the Aquarian Super Kick.. depending on style of music… Evan Tom heads may be easy to tune but the tonal character doesn’t last after continuous use… I give you props for a good sales pitch.. 😂

[@boobo3763]

Right there with you -Remo on snare and toms and Emad (or Emad2) on kick... Evans sound great for 2 weeks of light playing and easy to tune, but, nah... haha! I'd honestly play remo on kick, but you can't bury the beater in the Powerstroke 3 like you can with the EMAD -And I definitely bury the kick... A LOT... haha! CHEERS!

[@juniortavete3991]

Asking for a friend here .... how frequently should I be changing heads ? I've had mine on for the longest 😅

[@Fernage]

As someone who played Remo for years, switching to Evans was the smoothest transition. They were easier to tune and gave me more attack that I was looking for. Hybrid on snare, and EC2s on toms. EMAD2 is the most amazing kick head.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Evans have no tune. So I don't see how they are easier to tune

[@daynelawless]

Tuning is one of many drumming skills. It takes knowledge and repetition to develop any drumming skill, and tuning is no exception. Your sound is everything so putting some time into learning about the mechanics in physics Involved in the product you output (which is your sound) is a very wise investment. When comparing drumhead options, one should be comparing the drumheads, not any of your own excuses. The two main factors for consideration are build quality and sound quality. They are your drums, and if they make you happy, you made the right choice.

[@DrummerDanny76]

I also like the Evans drum heads. I like to use the EC2'S on the toms and the emad on the kick. In my opinion, the kit sounds great !!!

[@ajmarkle96]

I played Evans a lot and I love the UV2 heads, EMAD Heavyweight, and even UV2 on the snare.

[@nicholassadloski5926]

I have the same kit same color! I bought it at Guitar Center in 1999. Did Pearl send them to you?

[@ryandanar]

best combinations ever imo: evans genera hdd + hazy 300 snares and emad + eq3 kicks & remo pinstripes + ambassador toms.

[@ghettostreamlabs5724]

Ironically, I have played Evans heads for probably 15 years and am about to make the swap to Aquarian. Not because I dislike Evans, but because i put an Aquarian bass drum head on (Super Kick II) and it produced the most phenomenal sound I have ever heard. I wanna see what the rest of the drums will do. May be a "test" that lasts 6 months, may be a permanent swap - we'll see.

[@dylandelarosa9856]

I run Aquarian on bass. And remo/evans on toms and snares

[@JeremyLeech]

I’ve been an evans fan for year. Love their heads!

[@jamesgoetz6100]

Those ISS mounts make tuning very difficult. You can tune off the stand, but when you pick the drum up and mount it by that hoop-gripping mount, the hoop will twist under the torque created by the weight of the drum, affecting the pressure on the head collar at that point. Consider a different mounting system for your next tuning improvement

[@kingmusic3617]

Both Remo and Evans heads are really great drumheads. Me personally I will still play Remo. It's what I grew up with, gives my drums a more lively feel, and honestly durability isn't my main concern. At the end of the day for me it's all about feel. Remo gives me that certain feel I'm looking for.

[@stephenm.french8380]

I think different drums sound better with different heads. I purchased my 1st drumset in 1991 which was a professional series Pearl BLX. It came equipped with clear Remo pinstripes on toms and ambassador on steel free floating snare. I tried coated ambassadors and emperors on toms and could not get the drums to sound right. I discovered Evans in 1996 because of Dennis Chambers. I tried clear and coated G1, G2, and EC2 clears. The drums finally sounded how I envisioned in my ears. I also switched to Pearls ISS mounts in 96. Fast forward to 2020, I bought a Pearl SSC. I currently am using clear Emperors on toms and they sound great. Yes, Evans are easier to tune and seat. Just my opinion. After many years in the Evans camp, I am revisiting Remo. If I had a Tama, DW, Ludwig, Sonor, etc., I might have had a totally different experience.

Years ago, I used to use Aquarians, but over time, they just kept getting more expensive. I tried Remo, but in my opinion, they sounded great, but they die out fast. I switched to Evans a few years ago and been using them since. I did the G2 Coated on top, and G1 clear on bottom on toms, and HD Dry on the snare. Recently, I started using the UV2 on top for toms and the heavyweight dry on the snare. They sound great and also great durability, which is good for both live and in the studio.

[@pearlguy6351]

I think drum shell quality plays an important role in choosing the right head like for me for example I have 17 drum kits at home yes I said 17 every kit has its own personality and different sound characteristics I switch from evans hydraulics to remo emperors coated or clears I just go by feel based on what I think would be a good fit for that particular kit even on a few kits I have the remo color tone heads which I thought were just for cosmetic and looks I was quite surprised on the deep powerful sounds these heads make was quite impressed but as far as evans heads the black hydraulics are my top choice and the hydraulic black coated snare head to is king

Evans has the best quality control of any of the companies. I've only seen one Evans head ever that shipped with a messed up collar. Remo, 1 in 7 heads is un-useable. So you can't order Remo heads online, because you have to check each collar since they so often are warped out of the factory. Also, Evans heads hold their tuning a LOT better than Remo and are more durable that Remo. However, Remo heads do record better in the studio. For some reason, the attack on Remo heads is a bit clearer, there's no doubt about it. If I can figure out how to get the attack from Evans that I get from Remo, I would LOVE to never ever have to use Remo again, except for my beloved Clear Powerstroke 3s on kick batter.

I use Evans drum heads and this is my KZbin drum channel

My session select came with UT remo heads but it sounded like trash lol, put Evans EC2s and it sounded so good. I’m yet to try real remo heads tho

[@Apachecreator]

Evans are manufactured better. It’s all in the hoop engineering. The plastics are better. They keep their tone longer. I’ve never had a defective head from Evans. Tuning at various ranges are easy and consistent. I can’t say the same for Remo. I’ve gotten heads that lose tone quickly or are a pain to get in tune, then if you stretch them out the tone is gone, flat and dead. For 25 years now, it’s been Evans drumheads all day everyday. It’s D’Adario bruh… precision is their game!

I switched to Evans back in 1993. They are more durable and they are easy to tuning. A great range of options. But Remo and Aquarian has fantastic heads to.

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

More durable no tone.

[@blakedmc1989DrumsHD]

@@dcmastermindfirst9418 i beg to differ, i got more tone with Evans out of any other head brands especially on a Pearl drums

[@adammtroutman]

I promise anybody in these comments, if you try all the combinations from the top brands, you will find tons of heads that sound great. Brand alliance is business and nothing more. Same thing with the cymbal companies - all of their top of the line products sounds good. It’s just about style

[@metlheaddrumr]

Usually I can get my drums tuned by ear but I also use Evans heads

[@wesleyspilly3087]

ayyy i started getting Evans heads over the past few months! for the pearl kit I've had for 3 yrs! It had clear heads. Some of them wearing lol. I got a 10-inch, 16-inch tom heads, and a 12-inch snare. All heads are G2 coated.

[@royrolph]

Pull an Evans and remo head out of the box and tap the head and see which one has more tone without any tension on the head. Evans uses a plastic collar which suck compared to remo which is aluminum

[@blakedmc1989DrumsHD]

idk i had Remo break on me way to easily and i had alot of issues with Remo dating back to tha early 2000's, i had to get away from remo fast because i break remo too easily, now for Evans, u can thrash tha living daylights out of those things and they will still keep goin'

[@kevinjansky4392]

@Cooperdrummer Can you play with Todd Sucherman?

[@apedestrian3899]

I love Evans heads for toms in particular, but Remo has my heart in snares ❤️

[@joshuafoga8438]

Evans snare. Remo Toms 🤝

[@juanemmanuelsalinas2001]

🎉

[@therealspooks]

I have been using Evans heads over the rest since 1984, yes I am OLD AF!!

[@blakedmc1989DrumsHD]

i fully switched to Evans in 2000 but i was a kid playin' on everything i could hit on until i needed new heads and i almost went for Aquarian until i was given Evans and been in love ever since

[@cj_ssfsm]

I knew you would switch...🦖😷👽😻

[@FanaticDrummer]

🤷‍♂️ I think most people start evans because of school programs. Just like they use Pearl drums, Zildjian and Evans lol Its the go to for most school bands. But eventually, Remo just has that special sauce when accompanied with well made drums. Evans have active social media marketing. And Promark is a nice addition to the brand for endorsees. But I went Remo after using Evans in school back in 05’ lol. Sabian over Zildjian. And Tama over Pearl. However, I do like Pearl’s manufacturing decisions better.

[@rippindrummer666]

The amount of drum videos you’ve commented on, on KZbin, is nothing short of amazing lol

[@blakedmc1989DrumsHD]

Pearl/Evans/Zildjian is all i ever use
