Evans UV2 Coated Drum Head

Evans rates UV2 as prominent in attack, with shorter sustain, medium brightness and highly enhanced durability, and lists rock and metal as ideal styles. Evans says the coating withstands even the heaviest hitters without premature chipping or flaking, which matters when a set of heads has to last a tour. Evans also says its UV coating is slightly thinner than its standard spray coat, so the head vibrates a little more, and that the coated texture suits brushwork. For a coated single ply with longer sustain, see the Evans UV1.

Level 360 Technology extends the level playing surface 360 degrees around the drum so the head sits evenly on the bearing edge, which Evans says makes tuning easier and extends the pitch range. Evans gives one specification for every size, so choose the diameter that matches your tom. Evans designs, engineers and manufactures these heads in the USA, at its New York facility.
