Genera HD Dry Snare Drum Head - 14 Snare Drum Head - Featuring Vent Holes to Control Sustain & Tighten Sound - Overtone Control - Coated with 2 Plies - 14 Inch

This head has to be the best head that I've used in recent history. Tuning low. I can get a fat dry sound out of it, tuning high. I get my snappity crack that I love. Ghost notes all day with his head and rolling like rolling thunder. I highly recommend this head and I will definitely be using it a lot in my career

LOVE this snare head! For years, I had always played on Remo Ambassador Coated for my snare drums. But i had just finished restoring, upgrading + customizing an old, deep metal snare drum and i was looking for an upgraded head sound to complete my "new" drum. After some research, i ordered this head. Wow!! As soon as i pulled this head out, i could feel the better quality and construction of it. Once on the drum, it tuned up so quickly + easily that i felt like an idiot for having stuck with Remo all those years! 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.

Bought three. They are still going after 6 months with no dents or much wear. One is used at a jam every week.

Easy to put on great sound good quality it fit easily!

Awesome fast shipping.

I was skeptical at first, since the dry snare sound I have tried to achieve over the years seemed elusive at best, having tried about every external add-on that I could rig up without total success. 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!

This is my go to snare drum batter head, have it on all my snare drums!

Sounds great, I like the dryness of it, sounds more like a clap instead of a snap. Overall impressed with the quality and sound. And it's stain resistant too so it doesn't get too dirty.
