18" Evans UV1 Batter - Coated

Product Description

The Evans UV1 Coated is a single-ply 18" bass drum head designed to deliver a wide sound palette while being unusually durable for a single-ply head. It works as both a batter head and a front head, making it a flexible choice wherever it's used on the kit.

• Single-ply head built from a 10 mil thick film
• Patented UV-processed coating for an even, durable surface
• Level 360 profile for great fit and a wide tuning range
• Works as both a batter head and a front head

Tone and feel

The 10 mil film thickness combined with the fine-grain UV coating gives a dynamic sound with a bright top end and a full low end. Played slightly off-center, the head produces clear, well-defined overtones, while harder hits round off the attack into something closer to a two-ply head.

UV1 works well across a wide range of tunings. Tuned low, the attack softens with plenty of low end and good projection. Tuned high, the sound becomes more focused, with a tighter attack and a full core.

Construction

The patented UV-processed coating gives an unusually even quality and extra durability compared to other single-ply heads. Level 360 technology is built into the collar for better fit on the drum, a wider tuning range, and easier tuning overall.

Who it's for

A good choice if you want the open, dynamic character of a single-ply head with extra durability. Whether the drum is tuned low for punch and low end or high for a tight, focused attack.
