This snare head delivers a BIG sound that i love. It is crisp, very responsive, strong + versatile for different sound-styles AND it stays that way long after most snare heads have worn out or gone "flabby." I play in 3 bands that require 3 very different playing styles/sounds--from bright + ring-y to a heavy-dark boom. This awesome head does it all! It takes non-stop use + abuse then just keeps going without losing its great sound. It's even hard to know when to replace them since there's no real discernible change in their sound or response! I finally changed this head just because i normally would have gone thru 2 or 3 of the Remo heads by then and figured maybe i should. And, get this, i took the old head off + gave it to my friend for his "thrasher" set at home and it's still going strong, sounding great. Amazing! i recommend these highly. If you're still playing the on same old-school snare heads + want to update your sound, do yourself a favor and try these.
But I have been using Evans heads almost exclusively lately- so when I saw this HD Dry and its claims - I bought it.
I must admit - I am amazed at the sound the head puts out without the need for coaxing.
I installed it nice and tight all the way around and it was instantly my favorite snare.
I do still use a mylar trim ring on top, and my bolt-on muff under the batter remains unchanged. But the sound is the best I have ever heard on my kits. I use a 14” DW Performance Series as my primary snare - but I am certain that whatever brand you favor - this head will make it sound better than you previously imagined- and without any effort - other than bolting it on using the same process typically used to install a head.
This head will make THE difference! It truly is the ultimate dry tight attack - universally loved in the studio and live on the stage - mic it or not!
