The Evans UV2 Coated Drum Head 18" is a pioneering drum head bringing unparalleled longevity and performance to drummers everywhere. The result of years of intensive research and development, the UV2 Coated Drum Head utilizes an innovative UV-cured coating—the first of its kind—to provide the most durable and consistently applied finish on any drum head.
The UV2 Coated Drum Head's patented UV-cured coating delivers far superior resistance to denting, splitting, scratching, stretching and wearing compared to traditional coatings. Drummers can pound away without fear of the coating flaking, chipping or wearing off. This hard-wearing finish also provides extra sensitivity and texture, allowing for expressive brush work.
Comprised of two plies of 7-mil film for a total thickness of 14 mils, the UV2 Coated Drum Head generates a warm, rich tone with an pre-EQ'ed attack perfect for rock, funk and heavy hitting styles. Its sturdy yet responsive 14-mil construction, combined with its innovative UV-cured coating, make it an ideal choice for drummers seeking maximum durability without sacrificing tone.
The UV2 Coated Drum Head features Evans' Level 360 collar which sits balanced at every point around the drum's edge. This design enhances contact between the head and drum shell for better tone, easier tuning and a wider tuning range. The result is a drum head that rings fully and freely with every strike.
