Key Features for Longevity, Feel, and Sound

The B14UV1 drumhead is engineered with specific attributes to deliver a consistent, high-performance sound:

• Single-Ply 10mil Film Construction: This head features a single ply of 10mil film, offering a balanced combination of brightness, warmth, and sustain. This thickness provides excellent dynamic sensitivity, allowing for nuanced ghost notes while still delivering powerful rimshots.

• Proprietary UV-Cured Coating: The most distinguishing feature of the UV1 is its unique coating, applied and cured using ultraviolet light. This revolutionary process makes the coating incredibly durable and resistant to common wear issues like chipping, scratching, and flaking, which are often associated with traditional sprayed coatings. This means your head will look and sound new for a significantly longer period.

• Warm, Textured Tone with Excellent Stick Response: The coating provides a warm, articulate attack and a slightly drier, more controlled sustain. It offers excellent tactile feel and stick response, making it ideal for brushes, mallets, and sticks across various drumming styles.

• Enhanced Tuning Stability: The advanced coating technology and precision manufacturing contribute to superior tuning stability, allowing the head to hold its pitch consistently throughout extended playing sessions.

• Level 360 Technology: Incorporates Evans' revolutionary Level 360 Technology. This innovative collar design ensures a perfectly level fit on the drum shell's bearing edge, maximizing contact all around the drum. This results in easier tuning, an extended pitch range, and optimized sound quality and response across all tension points.

• Versatile Application: The combination of durability, warm tone, and excellent sensitivity makes the UV1 incredibly versatile. It's an excellent choice for rock, pop, R&B, jazz, blues, country, and studio recording, truly fitting into any genre where a reliable, great-sounding coated head is needed.

• Made in USA: All Evans drumheads are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, upholding high standards of quality and consistency in their manufacturing process.
