I trust this man, mainly because he looks like John Bonham

[@Adam7054]

I don't. His name is Pearl but works for Evans.

[@ChrisS602]

AND a cross between Gallagher&Weird AL

[@topoikembar2216]

😂😂

[@NewfieXbox66-ju4qb]

Yes he really do look like John Bonham, My Dad was pretty lucky meeting John Bonham at a Bar in Downtown Toronto Ontario Canada back in 1962 and John Signed his Drum Stick for my Dad, he past it over to me I have in cased in Acrylic Tubing.👍

I agree that the HD dry is something special. I used one for an entire college basketball band season and, other than the coating being slightly compressed in the center, it still looked new and sounded like a large handgun.

[@mat4410]

Try the UV1

[@user-zx8de8op9l]

I bought my current drum set back in 1998, from my uncle. It is a Ludwig from about 1981. It was custom ordered by the original owner, he bought it in about 1991. It is a big kit.

[@joelaustin1741]

This was a very comprehensive and well explained review. Great job! We sound techs love those Evans drum heads!!!

[@loZoneranger560]

Thanks, Paul! This video was of great help in putting together a drum kit after 50 years of playing bass...things have changed for the better!

[@kevinelliott4596]

This was very helpful thank you Mr.Pearl from Evans drums.....have you considered working for pearl to match your name lol

[@chicanochops]

That red Tom sounds beautiful 🤍

[@chadroediger4722]

Great video . Guy looks like a young Gallagher 👍🏻

[@bondo1955]

I was looking for a watermelon 😂

[@KT-zu1hd]

Thanks for the informations! I put it in my playlist and I did put a like. Sorry, I thought “standard” was 12” 13” and 16”. They don’t have 10”. Thanks!

[@MartinBellamyMBDrums]

Such a great video, thanks for explaining those heads!

[@mat4410]

*Using HD dry on my 6.5 DW black nickel over brass and 6.5 Supraphonic 402 and for me, it’s perfect. 300 resonant on bottom. 200 was too delicate, good for symphonic. ** I bought a pack of the RED hydraulics for the tom batters to help in the acoustic challenges I faced and they were the silver bullet. *** Received a free 14” UV1 for the snare and…oh my goodness! The second layer seems to be fused to the first and frankly, it’s impossible for a snare to sound this good this easy! The surface is etched for brushes if you so choose and doesn’t get all back and dirty. ****Using the EMAD2 on all my base drums for some time and also purchased the new EMAD2 HEAVY to build gong drums. The outer band gives you the option of no dampening ring, light ring, heavy ring. Choice! What’s not to like? *****Evans black Resonant on all the bottom heads. I’ve been a Remo loyalist forever, but the new 360* technology has been a real game changer!

[@franciscozamora4484]

I have DW drums and i really like EVANS

[@snowflakethedrummer]

I've been diggin on some Evans lately. I may do the switch from Remo.

Bonzo’s brother from another mother 💯

[@mat4410]

Evans 360 technology heads have a contour different from Remo in that it has a drop-down curve to sort of hug the shell past the bearing edge as opposed to “stretch across the bearing edge.” You have to see the drawings, but Yes! it makes a BIG difference.

[@checkeredpast13]

great review

[@CurtisFerrin]

I wish there was a pack of 13, 14, and 16in tom heads because my set is weird and has those sized toms.

[@eel-in-a-pot1821]

how is hardly anyone talking about this man's last name, yet he works for Evans!

[@ireadysucks3026]

He should name his kid Evan Pearl.

[@Cinestudi0]

Leave Mr tamapex alone

[@westleedrums]

Actions speak "louder" than words 🤣

[@stevenwilson9865]

You have forgotten about the "big boy" drum set bundle. 14", 14", 16", 18".,(26")

[@Luisifer_89]

I need that hoodie bro i loved my promark sticks

[@tomanetopotomane1953]

I'm PEARL.....EVANS.

[@mattrussell5098]

Hey great job man. But would you happen to remember what the resonant head was you used on the Tom for display?

[@cDisturbed.]

I would guess G1 clear. Pretty much the standard

[@charlesseagraves6210]

Paul, what would you recommend I replace my heads with? I own a Ludwig Custom Accent series set, 12” & 13” rack toms, a 16” floor tom and 22” bass drum. Your feedback is appreciated.

[@nathanielnwcz8043]

Try to get a standard pack for ur toms

[@philipnestor5034]

Which Evans heads are slightly oversized for vintage drums like Gretsch?

[@ryanfreese2031]

Forgot to mention that all you’re 2 ply tom heads have some tiny amount of oil fill around the edge between the ply and I’m not referring to the hydraulic heads!

[@lucksury]

I’ve noticed that on my EC2 heads

[@chrisgirth7373]

I dont believe 2 ply (emperors/g2 etc) have oil in between plys. I think that is a myth and the rainbow oil like look is just light refraction between between the plys.

[@mat4410]

@@chrisgirth7373 empowers and G2 do not.

[@bjrnarestamnes6279]

Whats a good choice for resohead to a hydraulic topskin?

[@ivanatimkova968]

Evans ec reso head i use hydraulics with them and it sounds great

[@mat4410]

Evans Resonant

[@cDisturbed.]

Clear G1

[@NewfieXbox66-ju4qb]

Evans Hydraulic Glass drum heads but i don't know why there is oil in between the heads are they for Dampening, do i have to buy another set of them for the bottom of the Toms as well.

[@adihavivi1134]

Do the drum heads come with top and bottom?

[@samguna]

Very comprehensive

[@JewishCircumcision1155]

Funny, ordered a 6 piece from this company and I’m now here looking at evans heads from the company lol

[@Tackaboy_x]

When buying drum heads, do you have to buy for both the top and bottom skins of the drum?

[@markr1550]

No. The batter head, obviously, takes a beating. The reso head can last much longer. If it's a new drum, however, you may want to replace both. Stock heads usually aren't the best quality.

[@xperrosinsangrex]

why are there 2 heads inside each box?

[@drmrguy3410]

I want to know too if it comes with 2

[@mat4410]

Promotion likely. One was free. I bought a pack of hydraulics and had a free 14” EV1 I had just started to hear about.

[@franciscozamora4484]

I know we are in América but this information is relly good its posible can u xplain all this in spanish??

[@meszuga6824]
