For over 60 years, Evans has been an innovator in drumhead manufacturing and design. As the creator of the first synthetic drumhead and other revolutionary products such as EMAD, Hydraulics, and the UV1 series, Evans drumheads are designed with the intent of solving problems for drummers. Regarded for high quality and consistency, all Evans drumheads are made in the USA and feature Level 360 Technology. Evans™ Onyx™ snare heads feature two plies of 7.5mil black film that deliver enhanced durability while making the drums cut through the mix in a live performance environment. A Frost coating gives the Onyx heads a matte black appearance and increases low-end response and attack.
