    we use these on our marching snares at my school, and i gotta say they work great for both applications. Evans make some killer heads and this is no exception

    These heads are actually meant for heavy marching drumming, but it still sounds Killer!

      @nerddomaingaming8 4 года назад +4

      It’s called a hybrid because metal players like myself would buy marching heads and it would sound great. But no articulation. So Evans combined the best of both worlds to make this killer head

    between this and the uv1 calftone58 an ambassador diplomat and powerstroke you can make one snare do any gig or any recording situation a drummer could run into. it's SO much better to spend 150 on heads and have a proper snare like a 6.5 nob rather than 150-300 on a second snare or two 300 dollar snares!

    Hey Ben - as you have obviously tried a lot, I have a question (sorry, it's longer, thanks a lot in advance for your reply).
    I'm generally someone who likes his drums to be wide open and warm. I generally only muffle the kickdrum (only the batter head with a pillow to be able to alternate between beater on/off sound), but the rest is unmuffled. I love overtones.
    Now while recording, I run into the problem that while I actually like the amount of OVERtones, the fundamental (!) tone of the drum is just excruciatingly loud in the close mics. I know that some of it is proximity effect of the dynamic mic, which I already have backed off quite a bit to reduce that low-mid tone (250-400 Hz). I could think about using a condenser, sure, but I wanted to think about head choice as well.
    At the moment I use a Remo Coated Embassador, which would be a Coated G2 in Evans I believe (?) - but I'm not a brand guy (apart from maybe meinl cymbals). A double ply head with great responsiveness, a warm and thick tone, still beautfully ringing overtones (love those on my cast bell bronze). But if I could, I indeed would like to reduce it's fundamental tone by more than a bit - not only for the mics, but in general.
    The proble mis, every muffling I apply will always take away all my beloved overtones (I'm anal about tuning so they are clear and pleasant instead of ringy and unharmonic). So I can't really use any muffling to reduce it, else I lose what I look for in my snare sound altogether. I tried a center-dotted head, which was too dead for me. Your kevlar head would be way too dead for my purpose as well. I know Evans is dryer than Remo (comparing similar head constructions), so I might try a G2, but I don't know how much effect it will have.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks and sorry for the length!

    @kiltymacbagpipe 7 лет назад +5

    I have seen videos of a few drummers using the head live and it seems to either sound good or terrible. Sometimes all the tone of the drum seems to be sucked out and all you are left with is snare buzz. Doesn't seem like an issue for you though.

    • @BenMinal
      @BenMinal  7 лет назад +3

      +Bruce Hewat I guess the right head needs to go on the right drum. This snare is a very loud brass Mapex and it does seem to match the Hybrid really well!

    • @VertesaGaming

    hey man! thanks for the vid. I went through a myriad of different snare head demos and REALLY loved this heads sound and went to check reviews finding this vid .... after checking this vid im going to be using the Hazy 300 as well. question though, what kind of tension do you have on your snare head and resonant head? do you use tuning or feel?

    • @BenMinal
      @BenMinal  7 лет назад

      Awesome! I tune to feel vs a specific note but I make sure all the lugs are in tune with each other. I would say I have the bottom head mid to high and the top head high

    • @TazzSmk
      @TazzSmk 6 лет назад

      soo, I got few of them for testing, and so I'm quite surprised how different it sounds on different snare (maple vs. steel) and when combined with different reso head (thin clear vs. thin coated),
      I like when rimshots sound really good, which means to tighten this hybrid head a bit more, while I prefer generally deeeper tone of the snare, so I guess I gotta play a bit more with the tuning to match the rest of the kit :D

    • @BenMinal
      @BenMinal  7 лет назад

      +Kraftydrums it's more about the sound you want vs the specific drum. This is a controlled sound with lots of attack. You might want more mids and body with a more open tone - what are you going for?

    • @kylekraft7304
      @kylekraft7304 7 лет назад

      That sounds like what I'm going for actually! I have a 5.5" ludwig though, is that not deep enough for this head? I guess what I'm asking is will this head deaden my drum or will it still have some body and resonance since it's only 5.5" deep?

      also a quick search suggests that people have actually snapped lugs trying to get the right tuning.... so maybe not use it on a crappy stock snare. Though if your putting a skin that's cost the same as a stock snare then remember you can't polish a turd.

    • @BionicleSaurus
      @BionicleSaurus 7 лет назад

      Mister Plague Bias has nothing to do with it. I hear so many people say you can't tell the difference between head manufacturers, but I most certainly hear a difference, and many other people do as well. Evens heads usually sound more open and fat. Aquarian heads tend to sound more musical and resonant. And Remo has the most attack and focus.

    • @BenMinal
      @BenMinal  7 лет назад +6

      +BionicleSaurus in my experience everyone is making great heads, it's really about finding what sound you want to create and which heads will give you that on your particular drum.

    • @martonkardos8094
      @martonkardos8094 7 лет назад

      I wouldn't say they are better. I prefer Remo on the snare and Evans on the toms. Remo heads have got much more like a natural sound.

    • @BW_Drums
      @BW_Drums 7 лет назад +3

      To be able to make that kind of judgment, you'd have to try every single variant of every head that every drum head manufacturer makes, and even then it would be a personal opinion. Remo, Evans and Aquarian make many, many different series of heads that many people don't know about. I'm going through as many as I can, usually changing it up each time I need to replace my heads.
      Personally, I've found my favourites to be Evans clear EC2s on the toms, Remo Powerstroke 3 coated on the snare and Evans EMAD on the bass drum. My next set of tom heads are likely to be Remo Pinstripes though, as I know they are the equivalent of the EC2, and my next snare head should be an Evans Hybrid. Though I've got to say, it's going to be tough trying to win me over from the Powerstroke 3 snare head.
