That’s wild…as a dude who doesn’t play Evans much anymore, I still run a cranked UV2 as my snare head, and based on this video, that’s still the correct choice out of the entire lineup. Wide open with no muffling on a 14x8 birch snare, it sounds incredible and has lasted a year so far. If I absolutely had to switch to something else from Evans, I’d probably do an Onyx? Idk. I just wish Remo’s control dots would stop exploding 😂

@ThomasCremier 2 ай бұрын

Yeah the UV2 is a wide sounding with a long sustain and… extremely durable! Happy you still think the UV2 is your greatest choice 😉 I was pretty disappointed by the Onyx as it has a strange resonance, as it the sound stays too much in the shell and not going out of it. I had one time the Remo's Control Dots, but didn't last that long unfortunately… Cheers from France!

@@ThomasCremier Yea, I can imagine how much time you've put into this. Very much appreciated. The Tama drum set and Evans are a great combo. I prefer the higher tunings, especially on my snare, but I also do tune my toms little higher than most to get nice resonance out of them. Many people's toms sound pretty dead and non musical to me. I've used Evans for 20 years but switched to Remo Emperor (batter) and Ambassador (resonant) heads on my Ludwig Keystone X (Maple/Oak kit) and I use a Remo Emperor X on my snare. I'm not opposed to going back to Evans tho, and Aquarian also make some great drum heads.

@ThomasCremier 3 ай бұрын

@@MarkMonolithOfficial I also prefer high tuning for snare, but my toms are tuned pretty low as I love the contrast between snare and toms! I used a loooong time ago Aquarian heads on my old pearl JJ snare, it was very powerful in my memories. That's what is great about drums and music and art in general, there is a wide variety of brands and models to choose from, so everyone can find their preferences!

@ThomasCremier Ай бұрын

Thank you for watching it 🙏🏻 I am so happy to read that you chose the same head as I did! The Hybrid Black is really an amazing head, and it complements the Starphonic Copper! The Ultra High tension gives this smack and punch I love out of a snare drum! If you do any drum video, please send it to me 😉 Cheers from France!

This is the best Evans two-ply snare comparison video out there now. Might be the only one actually lol. So this helped me narrow down some choices for sure. Torn between the ST Dry, Heavyweight Dry, and the UV2. I would love to get the Hybrid head but I’ve heard that it’s only safe for metal hoops. I have a Superstar Classic 14x6.5 with die cast hoops. Sounds pretty good right now with EC Reverse dot but it’s a little bit too “gushy” at the moment. Not enough attack and a little box sounding even with higher tuning. Need something else for my prog rock band.

@ThomasCremier 3 ай бұрын

Thank you so very much for your feedback! 🖤 I searched while I was preparing and writing this video, and I found some good videos having more heads but not all two-ply, there was a blend of two and single ply heads, and sometimes with different brands. So yeah, this comparison is (for now) the only full two ply range of Evans Drumheads! I really like the ST Dry, but it isn’t durable enough for my playing unfortunately! The Heavyweight Dry is a BEAST. But I feel it needs to be tightened a lot to really shine, in this video, I think the Heavyweight Dry could be tightened a bit more 😉 I have it installed on another snare of mine, and it sounds massive! The UV2 is really the most polyvalent one, it has a wide frequency range and with all the accessories with have in our disposal (Snareweight Dampers and all others models), we can really sculpt the sound we want! And its durability is mad! About the Hybrid, I have a Tama Starclassic Bubinga 14"x8" with Die-Cast Hoops, for about ten years. Seven out of the ten, a Hybrid was installed (and still is), pretty much cranked, and I never had any issue 😉 I know what you mean about the EC, this what I do not like about it. It is good to have an low and fat sound, but even cranked it doesn’t get the attack I am looking for. Not enough precision! The Heavyweight is its big brother and it definitely can have a big low end punch while allowing a great transient attack! But none of the ones above and the 13 heads of this comparison is a bad choice. It is all about the sound YOU are looking for, your preferences and the durability you want! 🙏🏻 Tell me which one you installed on your snare when you made your choice! Cheers from France!

@chiefluke210 3 ай бұрын

@@ThomasCremier Thanks for more info and I appreciate your opinions! I’m gonna the Hybrid out first and see if it does any damage to the hoop, if not I’ll keep it. If I see anything I’ll get a Heavyweight Dry for sure. Kinda curious about the Onyx head too, seems like it’d be cool to switch up.

@ThomasCremier 3 ай бұрын

My pleasure! You won’t have any problem with a Die-Cast Hoop, do not be afraid 😉 These hoops are robust and way more durable compared to triple flanged hoop! And the ease of tuning is better! From what I heard during the sound tests, the Onyx has a resonant I do not like, as if the air was still in the shell and without letting it « breathe ». I don’t know if you can hear what I try to describe ahaha But it surely is the most beautiful one 👀

not much difference in low tuning which Im mostly interested in. great comparison thank you, very informative and top notch quality. Going to stick with G2 or UV2

@ThomasCremier 2 ай бұрын

I agree with you, the Low tuning isn't the one where the heads shine and let us hear what they can do. We can hear the natural sustain of the head itself, with the dry vents, the differences between the textures, coating or aramid finer etc … The UV2 is really a great one as it has a wide sound, with pretty long sustain that can be dampened with all the accessories we have available! And thank you very much for your feedback about the video and its quality! 😉

@TheMeandrummer 3 ай бұрын

I like the hybrid because I already been down this road of searching and experimenting. It gets a bit expensive but once you find what works for your drum, it’s easy. But all drums are not the same. A single ply head is better to work with because you can dampen it as needed.

@ThomasCremier 3 ай бұрын

I really love the Hybrid for years, and this new Black model has a wider range in its tone, which makes it even better! Testing a lot of heads gets expensive, that's why I wanted to share this experiment so that anyone can listen to the differences on the same shell, the same hitting manner, the same recording, the same tensions etc… But yeah, it won't sound exactly the same on all the snare drums! But anyone can discover the differences in this way. I cannot work with single ply head as they are too fragile… they wouldn't last months with my drumming habits unfortunately, even if they offre a more polyvalent tone. And with my tastes, I dampen my double pli heads too 😛
