Evans Drum Heads - Onyx Tom Drumhead, 14 Inch

This head is a beastly batter head. Having multiple snares to compare against, I am going to give a detailed review. Tuning... This Evans Onyx is durable. It's on a 5×14 PDP Concept Maple snare. I have it pretty high pitched, about a half step lower than my 6.5x13" Pork Pie snare with Ambassador heads. It stretched evenly and has a darker sound. It's very controlled. There are few overtones. I do not have a moon gel on it. It's use is great for heavy stuff or if your looking for a dark, focused yet controlled attack. It would not use it for a jazz gig or a concert gig. The The response from the head is not even close to what an Ambassasdor or Evans G1 or G2 head would be. Doubles need to be stroked out more to get a clean, responsive sound.

I love a dry sound with less reverb and these heads are my choice. Very consistent sound and they look great!

Excellent product and great quality

These will make your kit sing !

Good drum head for vintage music, jazz, latin jazz and/or maybe old funk. Box shipped to my door in nice condition, head was easy-to-tune, just like all the other heads that Evans makes. Nice tone, but a bit too expensive for my taste, but at the same time authentic calfskin heads (not Remo Fiberskyn or any heads along those lines) are increasingly hard to find at an affordable price, so at least these heads make up for it. Would 100% recommend Evans heads for any cheap drumset or any other type of drum that has either odd sizing, woods like spruce or poplar, or really any other set.

Got this head to put on my 14x14 Gretsch floor tom and it’s great! I tune it low for a fatter controlled sound on fusion dates, but you can really crank it for bop tuning without sounding like you’re choking the drum. It’s durable and has enough coating to play brushes on as well.

I disagree with reviews saying the dampening goes too far. That is why you would buy a snare head like this. This is a very specific head-type but if you know what you want this could be just what you are looking for. I use this head for my stays-at-home, never-gets-gigged-with DW kit and I could not be happier with the sound. It's tight and poppy, lots of snap but still enough overtones left to really appreciate things like ghost notes...IN THE RIGHT SETTING. This head is perfect for my small rehearsal space where I dont need lots of volume or natural overtones/reverb. This head would be adequate for live if it is mic'ed, and would kill it in the studio. But that's what this head is all about; dry, flat overtones, but still punchy without killing the natural sound of the snare. I LOVE this head. SO happy I bought it. You will be too if you know what you want.

I bought the 12” and 13” heads for my rack toms, and my drums have never sounded better. That matte black finish is badass, the tone is incredible, the ease of tuning is brillliant, and the make of the Head is perfect. 5/5. No complaints whatsoever. (Side note: I bought a black hydraulic 16” for my floor tom so I wouldn’t need any additional dampening; floor tom has the best body and tone it’s ever had since I bought my kit 12 years ago. Evans for life.)

I love the look of my kit after putting these black heads on it. They sound great!

I gave this rating because of the quality of this drum head.It is by far the best that i have ever used in all the years i have been playing the drums. You will notice that i have purchased other Evans products,and i stand by the quality of these products and always when replacing them i replace with Evans products. Anyone who plays percussion will benefit from buying this brand and will satisfied with there performance.

Excellent

Pelle ottima. L'ho usata su un side snare in acero 12x5 ed è fantastica inoltre siccome anche l'occhio vuole la sua parte è anche bella da vedere
