Evans Genera HD Dry Coated Drum Head 18"

Evans HD Dry Batter Head – Controlled Power with Advanced Overtone Management

The Evans HD Dry batter head is engineered for drummers who demand a durable head that offers tight control and focused tone. Designed with a blend of robust construction and precision-engineered venting, this head excels in live and studio environments where clarity and articulation are critical.

Heavy Duty Construction with Built-In Control

This head features a coated 2-ply design — an outer layer of 5mil film and an inner 7.5mil film — delivering a fat, warm tone with excellent durability. The 2mil control ring on the underside, combined with precision-drilled dry vents around the perimeter, eliminates excessive overtones and shortens sustain for a focused, punchy, sound.

Key Features:

• 2-ply Coated Film: 5mil outer and 7.5mil inner plies provide both durability and a balanced tonal response.

• Dry Vents: Precision-drilled vent holes around the edge reduce overtones and control sustain.

• 2mil Control Ring: Helps eliminate unwanted resonance and tightens up the tone.

• Level 360 Technology: Ensures consistent contact with the bearing edge for easy tuning and enhanced tuning range.

• Semi-Defined Attack: Offers crisp articulation with slightly reduced brightness compared to standard HD heads.

Ideal For:

• Rock, Gospel, Metal, and Pop

• Live sound and studio recording

• Drummers looking for short sustain and a tight, dry snare tone

The Evans HD Dry delivers pro-level tone control with road-tested strength—perfect for players who want a no-nonsense head that cuts through the mix and stays in tune under pressure.
