Part of the D'Addario family, the global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand is synonymous with quality and consistency. Decades ago, Evans was the pioneer of drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they are the innovators. By using two unique high-tensile fibres, one chosen for flexibility and the other for durability, the Hybrid marching snare batter yields greater sensitivity, and a broader dynamic range while enhancing projection and durability. The Hybrid-S version has more "give" to it, and is designed with younger players and band programs in mind. It offers a softer feel for high-tension snare drums.
