16" Evans EQ4 Batter - UV Coated

Product Description

The Evans UV1 16" is a single-ply bass drum head with a built-in damping ring, designed to deliver a clear attack and wide dynamic range without losing openness in the tone. The UV-processed coating makes it one of the most durable single-ply heads on the market, while its fine-grain surface contributes to a dynamic sound with a bright top end and a full low end.

The head is built around a uniquely durable 10 mil film with UV-processed coating, giving consistently high quality across the surface. The built-in damping ring provides a clear attack and good dynamics. Note that the width of the damping ring varies with head diameter, with larger heads getting a wider ring.

Tone and feel

Played softly off-center, the head produces attractive overtones with clear identity. Played harder, the attack rounds off and starts to resemble a two-ply head. It performs well across a wide range of tunings: tuned low, the attack is softer with good low end and projection, while tuned higher the sound becomes more focused with a tighter attack and full core.

Fit and tuning

The head features Level 360 profile for the best possible fit, a wide tuning range, and easy tuning.
