I may be a convert!
Recently I was looking for some heads to put on a set of Starion shells that I modified. My original plan was to use a set of Attack heads on both the resonant and the batter side of these shells. That decision was based mostly on price. Not completely though as I have used the Attack heads for resonant heads with very good results. The Attack heads that I bought though are single ply. To me that make them great candidates for resonant heads but I think a two ply head is better for a batter head. I gave the Attacks a shot on both sides but I wasn’t completely happy with the sound and felt a two ply head would just be the better way to go.In the past I have used Remo heads for batter heads almost exclusively. I still very much like the Remo Pinstripe heads but decided to give these Evans heads a try just to try something different. I am very happy I did! These Starion shells now have a very nice sound with lots of resonance. The most noticeable difference between these G2’s and the Attacks is that the tuning range seems to be much wider. The Attacks had a very narrow tonal range where they resonated. The G2’s seem to resonate everywhere! From very loose to moderately tight they have very nice sound and resonance. I have some Moon Gel damping pads installed to cut down on some of the resonance but doing it this way instead of choking the drum offers a much better sound. By adding, removing, or moving the Moon Gel pads around I can control exactly how much resonance the drums have without having to change the heads tune.I should mention that I am still using the single ply Attacks for the resonant side. With the G2’s on top and the Attacks on the bottom these shells sound great! Also, on the bass drum I have Attack no ring heads on both sides. I also have a pillow in there for damping and this bass drum sounds just amazing! So, the Attacks have their place but on the batter side I am very impressed with the sound, tuning range, and ease of tuning of these G2’s. If you’ve never tried them, give them a shot, if you have you likely already know what I’m talking about!

New drum heads
Replaced the heads on old drum set. These heads have a good quality tight sound. Very responsive and I like the black color.
Good product and works when placed in proper area. –

Perfect for the right applications and the price point is unbeatable
I almost always start with Remo ambassadors-coated or clear and start from there as far as tuning, dampening, etc. However for the specific kit and the music for one of my current projects needed something different. It is a vintage kit, and the music needed for the Tom’s to be dampened but still have tone and warmth- not sound like boxes and thuss and/ or rely on effects to give tone. These were almost 10$ less than the emperors, (especially since I got them from warehouse in “like new” condition meaning they were never installed). I had used them before but had forgotten how well they work. Tone is there, and stick rebound doesn’t suffer much from the second ply/ extra thickness. The kit I put them on already (for some reason) had G2 clear on the reso side. Somehow this combination on a late 60s/ early 70s thin shell kit works well, with warm tones and very little additional overring or volume control, but still has a dynamic range.

Nice hydraulic heads in an economical multi pack
I got these for refurbishing a 50-year old drum set. I initially got this because a “tom pack” is cheaper than buying the individual heads, and I had some trouble finding a pack in the sizes I needed (12, 13, 16 inch).That said, these look and sound great. I’d played Evans hydraulics before, just not on my own set. I also like the extra layer around the edges for overtone control. Love that shimmer of oil you can see inside the two layers of the head!

I’m very satisfied with this product. I received exactly the same product as it has shown on the online portal. It was seal packed and nothing to doubt about its quality. It was well packed and safely delivered to me on time.
