How to choose
Choose a snare head by coating and feel, since coated heads suit brushes and sticks differently than clear ones.
Beginner
An Evans G2 Coated or Aquarian Texture Coated 14 inch head is a reliable first replacement snare head. Tune the head in small even turns at each lug, checking the pitch stays level all the way around before playing.
Intermediate
Players wanting a different attack often try an Evans EC2S clear head or Aquarian Focus-X for a sharper crack. A Big Fat Snare Drum topper is worth trying if you want to change tone quickly without swapping the head itself.
Expert
Experienced players fine-tuning snare sound often test Aquarian Reflector or Evans Onyx heads for specific studio characters. Replace snare heads more often than other heads on the kit, since they wear fastest under constant backbeat hits.

About Snare Drum Heads
