Utilizing unique, 2-ply construction which combines a top layer of Evans ShockWeave Mesh with all-new Snare Sim Technology, the dB One snare head transfers impact energy into sonic vibrations which mimic the crack and buzz of snare wire, while still maintaining a low volume. Evans dB One mesh snare head allows you to add or remove standard snare wire to alter the snare response to your liking. For quieter drumming, remove snare wires to eliminate sympathetic snare buzz. The resonant head can also be tuned within a wide range of snare body tones, giving you sound control while allowing you to practice quietly, whenever and wherever you want.
