What's The Best Head For Snare Drum?

Join us at The Ranch Production House as we took the powerful Tama Star Reserve 14x6.5-inch snare drum for a spin to find the perfect head. 🤔


To ensure a fair comparison, we fine-tuned each head to the same pitch. Our mic game was on point, using a consistent blend of spot mics, with just a touch of overheads and room mics for that perfect, natural sound.


🔊 Drumroll, please! Here are the contenders:


Evans HD Dry

Remo Ambassador

Evans G2

Evans Calftone

Remo Controlled Sound X Reverse Dot

Evans Black Chrome

Evans Hydraulic Red
