All heads were tuned at the same exact tension (88) using a DrumDial. Bottom head is a standard Evans S14H30 300 Snare Side.
The audio was recorded using a matched pair of AKG C414 for overheads, a Shure SM57 for the snare drum and a AKG D112 for the bass drum.
The video was filmed using a Canon Eos 70D for front view and a Canon Eos Rebel T3i for overview.
Thank you for watching!
This and the Remo Heads comparison are by far the most helpful videos out there! Thank you!
Hi Sorantis! We're happy to hear this :) You're very welcome
Very true!
The amount of time and frustration this video saved me cannot be put into words. THANK YOU for such a direct, clear comparison.

thank you for listing the heads and times on the video for me. i really appreciate it my friend. listening and choosing the best sound is confusing enough, then to have to locate it in the video. i love the sounds of most of these heads, but we gotta remember what type of drum he is using, and how tight or loose he tuned the drum at, plus the microphone can change the tones of the snare drum heads. thanks again buddy, glen
its in the description but thanks
To me the G1,Genera Dry and G2's!
finally a video comparison which does a straight side by side comparison without the talk...bravo....
Hi Rusty, that's what we do ;) Thank you for your comment!
The best side by side comparison I've seen... no interruptions which make me forget what I just heard. Been playing EC1 coated on toms and may be switching to UV1.
I currently using the uv1 on my snare, and it was freaking awesome! The coating very lasting and the tone are awesome! Definitely recommend the uv1's
I love the groove this guy plays; he's so consistent too. It makes my choice easier :-)
Need some rim shots!
Thanks for doing these. Really interesting mix. I'm a fan of the EC, calftone, and just a straight G1. ST sounded good as well. Not a fan of any of their "dry" heads, the holes seem to suck out a lot of low end and make for a "papery" sound.
HD Dry, the best, Hydraulic Blue is a close second. I've tried a lot of Evan's heads, and after years settled on the HD Dry, love the sound I get from it. Short, snappy, just really dry, no overtones, but that's what pumps my pedal. Everyone's different.
Been a HD Dry guy forever - but...was blown away by the G14. Holy cow the way the snare opened was surprising.
Agreed
Aquarian next? Haha great videos!
Here it is! Enjoy ;) ruclips.net/video/zF9xNsHLyK0/видео.html
Learned a new groove - thanks! That inverse para diddle diddle fill is so smooth
Wow it's surprising how much deader they sound in comparison to the Remos.
Agreed!
Not necessarily a bad thing, though.
Could be a number of things contributing to that. Different room , mic placement, etc etc
Also die cast hoops on this snare, the remos were demonstrated on triple flanged hoops.
@@ianisaacs2340 No it was diecast hoops
Loving the calftone. Open but not too much overtones.
Toms next!
They all sound great, but I think the HD Dry and Genera Dry are my go-to for recording.
I was going to say the same thing. That Genera Dry is very useable for recording.
I DESPISE EVEN LOGGING IN TO UTUBE VIDEOS ANYMORE ALL BECAUSE OF THIER CONTINUOUS WORTHLESS ADVERTISEMENTS THAT NO ONE REALLY WANTS TO SEE OR EVEN WATCHES BEFORE I EVEN GET A CHANCE TO WATCH WHAT I'M HERE FOR AND NOT JUST ONE , I GET AT LEAST TWO VIDEO COMMERCIALS SOMETIMES THREE , BEFORE I CAN EVEN WATCH WHAT I CAME HERE TO SEE , AND IT'S SO BAD , BY THE TIME ALL THIER ADS AND CRAP ARE OVER , I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT I CAME HERE TO SEE !!!!!!!!!
Remo Ambassador Suede...oh sorry wrong vid
I really liked the G14. Had a nice cutting attack. I've always got great results cutting the ring out of a HD Dry head.
That genera dry ♥ Amazing
1. G2
2. Onyx
3. EC/ST/HD
Hydraulic blue for the win 🏆
Genera and HD ❤️
I have been using Pearl Reference 14x6.5 snare with 20 ply shells . With such staggeringly thicker shells, I use heavyweight heads which does the real work for me in giving me the pop and the super loud vibe...And thanks for such an amazing video, man.. Cheers
Thanks for the recommandation! I have a snare of similar thickness and the overtones are out of control with even a two-plies head. This seems to be the solution!
Man you got a nice drum! Mines a rusty old Vic Firth but it sounds incredible with a Geneva Dry
Oh and the Hydraulic Blue sounded the best!
Thats right !
Have an HD dry on my lm402.... sounds great
Fantastic videos. Been using the G2 for a few years now just due to sheer durability. So would recommend as a strong product. But looking for warmer tone and shorter sustain, I’m going to try out the Remo Powerstroke 3.
I like the sound of Calftone, G2, Hydraulic.
Power Center Reverse Dot by far.
Forgot the hybrid
ULTIMATE Aquarian Snare Drum Heads Comparison ;)
+dissaor lavey we’re receiving our first Aquarian shipment this week ;)
+dissaor lavey Here it is! Enjoy ;) ruclips.net/video/zF9xNsHLyK0/видео.html
I have the power center reverse dot and don't like the bell ring when you strike it. Going to an HD DRY.
I want to buy some EVANS Calftone, but i have heard that these drumheads have a very low durability, someone who has already had one of these, please tell me if its true.
Can´t thank you enough for making this video. I dreamed of seeing something like it for years!
ST Dry and Hydraulic were my favorites
Yeah, they all soung great, but which snare wire you use? 😉
Exactly what I'm wanting to know...
I have a Genera dry on my black beauty and its the best its ever sounded. I want to experiment on my 8x14 raw brass, and 6.5x14 Classic Maple. Im thinking EC1 reverse dot, heavyweight, or try both. Any input appreciated.
Hello my main man. Thank you for the demo of the remo and evans drumhead. It was really nice to hear you did the demo sound. Now I won't be having a problem when I buy a new snare batter for my new SJC pathfinder snare. I guess for all the evans you demo, I'll take my chance for buying an EC1 reverse dot. Good for rock, pop, metal and classical bands. Thank you. By the way, please do a demo sound for the evans rack tom, sir.
Got the frosted blue hydraulic on my 14x7 oak snare and ec2 reverse on my 13x5.5 steel snare. All hazy 300 and puresound wires. Getting ready to do a hybrid on a 14x7 steel and a 13x3 steel piccolo next.
Remo is better even I kinda like Evans but remo numbe 1
It depends on many factors, the quality of your drum and the quality of the musician, then the drumheads complement each other, for me both are very good, I use Evans, but I have an extra snare with remo, also i mix both brands, for the top or the side head, both push well, better technology has evans but remo is stronger too. Number 1 doesn't exist, this is personal.
yes remo >>> evans > aquarian
HD Dry is the head im using and i love it! I dont think ill be switching to a new head anytime soon
I just ordered that one from Amazon 5 minutes ago, I hope to enjoy it as much as you do :D
I play aquarian but the ec1 and the heavyweight sound amazing!
Merci encore toujours aussi utile !! whaooo :)
THANKYOU! the Genera Dry & HD Dry >....Ooooo ;-)
They all sound great to be honest mate
Some hard work you must have done though,....great job
Hi Owen, yes a lot of work but totally worth it! Thank you for your comment!
Such a great video! So well thought out and informative and thanks for listing all the gear and relevant info!
Hi Michael! Thank you for the kind words. We appreciate :)
A video of the Evans drumheads and then on the kick drum is there a Remo powerstroke?
You forgot the best evans snare head ever... The hibrid \m/
That's a marching head
Yes, and if you like it, you never have to replace it lol
@@JazzyJonas I used one of those for about 4 years... What a beast of a drum head.
Do Aquarian!
We're working on it NuDrums!
Update? I'm eagerly waiting
Me too!
me too!
Me too
Uhhh, you forgot one lol. (kidding). I like the G12. To my ear it seemed to have more sustain than the other single ply heads. The G14 is very similar but too deep imo (but would be good on a 13" snare). I like sustain / ring and then slightly self dampen with 1/2 of a moon gel. I'm not in to full dry snare heads. They just sound too dead/dull to me and you can never get any ring back out of them. With any non-dampened head you can at least tone it down yourself as needed for best of both.
Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment! Glad it helped you!
Nice comparison! I can’t even imagine how much time was invested doing this!
Hi Ryan, glad you appreciate! Was worth it :)
wow! all very impressive, except the J1
THANK YOU very much for NOT cluttering up the sound with a lot of NOISE from crash cymbals, etc. Like OTHER DEMOS. and NOT BORING us to death by ENDLESS JIBBER JABBER.
The sticking on that 6let roll is RLLRRLR if anybody else is going crazy trying to figure it out
Good eye Mark! ;)
G2 is the way a snare should sound for me!
I'm a Remo Amb/Emp coated user but I remember using a coated G1 over twenty yrs ago on my floor tom beating it really hard for yrs and I swore that head did not warp,crack,or peel once .Or was it the G2?Anyways,I was impressed by the durability.🗽
is it me or do the rim shots on the EC stand out as being better sounding than the rest? so loud and resonant!
the g1, g2 and g12 are also great! I have a 6.5 deep steel snare Im trying to get to sound like a cannon, like meshuggah, tool, he is legend etc.
I tried my emperor coated and it choked it completely, I need something with lots of sustain and ring at low tension, I can always tape it up to deaded ring, but you cant undry a head.
any suggestions?
Where's Evans Hybrid?
D Adam oath that head is mean as
Congrats on the vid. I frankly couldn't play a groove on the same tempo with the same dynamics AND changing 15 snareheads in between. Keep it up
Personally i think the genera and the regular HD is the best . They just have thw right amount of overtone . In my opinion the dry versions of hd and the genera just take away the the classic crisp snare sound we all know and love
I use remos for everything but I’ve never come across a snare head that I liked more than the EC Reverse dot. It’s LOUD and I get a powerful crack that no other snare head has ever given me. Great for metal.
I just put a hydraulic blue on my gretch Catalina Ash snare. Fantastic!
Great! That head is fantastic IMO!
Man I’ve never thought the batter size head can make such Huge differences sonically!! I’m currently using UV1 and always feel that there’re too much ringing going on, I’ll try B14GEN after listening to this comparison, thank you for doing this!!!
Remo is the best for snare
Sergio Torrens and toms but honestly evans for the bass drum
I know this is an old video but thanks, great demo - maybe the best for a concise demo of the various head options from Evans -
better than anything Evans demos !!!
I’ve had a lot of problems trying to tune the onyx I have on my 14x5” snare just a heads up
What about Hybrid drum heads?
G1 on snare all day nice and bright good crack currently running a uv1 right now and its decent too
This is awesome, they all sound great in their own way! I'm very partial to the g12 coated for my snares. 1 ply tone and feel but 2 ply durability and longevity. It allows the drum to sing and be free but with a minor reduction in over tones vs the standard g1. Also has great brush response, if that's your thing.
Wonderful on the Toms too...
0:45 What is that sound?
Roky A rimshot
Will it make much difference upgrading the snare skins from a stock Tama factory snare skin?
REMO OR EVANS snare heads?
i'm guessing that he's using the same head on both sides? Wish he would have clarified that.. (Hint, Hint... Clarify that please Mr. Drummer'in'vid)
Hi Nicholas! We've added the bottom head in the video description. It's an Evans S14H30 300 Reso Head.
G12 and G14, Cool! 👍
Oh wow I have That Same Yamaha Bass Drum Pedal. Its a nylon strap driven pedal that came with my electronic Drum kit.
I'm pleased to see it works for you, I never could get the tension right on mine to keep it from clanking on quick foot strokes.
I think I like the st :)
1) Calftone
2) G2
3) Hydraulic Blue
01:34 02:43
I have a G2 on my birch wood snare, sounds great
That onyx head though ⚫️🥵
1 ply 14 mil. and EC 1 frosted Reverse Dot wins my vote. But what do i know ?...
I use Remo ... ;)
This is by far the best evan snare comparison video i came across to. Thank you!
Hi Dounoe, thank you for the kind words! Keep groovin'
UV 1 , G2 , HD Dry, ST Dry
this is a DREAM of a comparison!!!
Hope you enjoyed :)
But Dream makes cymbals, not drum heads!
Aaaaah, genera dry.... always my favourite
Snares sound much better when tuned a fair bit lower than this.
Forgot the Hybrid.
this hd dry.... damn
Honestly none of these impress me. Evans sound the same besides some (hydrolic, ec, etc..)
Are the same drum heads for top and bottom?
Hi Aaron, the bottom head we used is a standard Evans S14H30 300 Snare Side.
I have noticed that the G1 rings out to much on my Yamaha snare. I ended up using moongel to muffle the ring.
G2 and XD
That snare sounds great regardless of the head you use. What snare are you using? I prefer Evans tom heads, but Im still trying to figure out if Evans or Remo snare heads sound better.
Hi William, we are using a Yamaha Maple Custom Hybrid 14X6! Everything you need to know is in the video details! :)
in relation to the Remo snare head comparison is the tuning a lot higher, every Evans head sound more boxy, cranky and tiny......
Hi Andreas, actually we used a DrumDial at 88 (fairly high) on both comparison!
Ec1 reverse dot 😉
Now this is a real comparison video!!!
What a great video! Thanks a lot for your effort! For me it's between the HD Dry and the Hydraulic :)
I used a hydraulic head on a 14×5 maple snare, I wanted a nice fat sound, got that no problem..but I decided to tune it up very high..and jesus it sounded so good, really bright and popping, so surprised..I've kept it at the high tension ever since
I will try a hydraulic for sure on 14x6.5 maple snare! 🤘
Which snare wire are you using?
You da real MVP
I love that ringy tone from G14
The first 3 sound good to me...anyway I noticed there's a difference in sound between G1 360 and G1, is it right? I sadly cannot find anymore the G1, they sounded better to my ears...
G1 360 is the new version of the G1. Every Evans head now is marked "360"
