Evans Drum Heads - dB Rock Pack (10" 12" 16") with 14" dB Snare Batter and 22" dB Bass Batter

I bought a set of Remo SilentStroke heads for my kit to practice at home with as I don't live somewhere that allows for full drum set volumes. After some time with them, I wasn't super excited. The kick head felt super floppy no matter how much I tightened it (especially since I was working on double kick) and the volume and tone out of the drums was very lacking. So instead, I went for the Evans DbOne, which is a step up in terms of volume (the Evans DbZero is a more direct competitor to SilentStroke) but it was entirely worth it. The main improvement was the kick head. Compared to the simple mesh of a silent stroke/db0, it feels MUCH closer to real response and lets me practice higher speed techniques like heel-toe that I couldn't do before. It also doesn't need a protection patch since it has one built in! The rest of the heads are similarly improved, with a noticeable but not massive increase in volume, but with a far greater increase in playability, rebound, and tone from the drum. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is the snare head. The snappiness of the included faux snare wires is cool, but honestly a *bit* too loud for my taste, especially in snare heavy blasts (and since I have a heavy hand on the snare in general). I've been using these for about 10 months, and after pretty regular practice on them for that time, the only issue I've noticed is a very slight separation of the kick head center pad (and it will probably last for a while more) so durability is not an issue at all. It also helps that they look pretty cool! Overall this is the ideal set for me, in between the almost fully silent pure mesh heads and regular ones in terms of both volume and playability.

I installed the 22inch db one bass drum head on the batter side of the 22x18 Gretsch Bass drum. I was looking for a quieter sound from my drum, because my house isn’t very far apart from my neighbors house, and I didn’t want them to hear the boomy low end sound from the bass drum, because low frequencies travel quite far. I also got remo silent stroke heads for my 3 rack toms, and DB one for my 2 floor toms and the bass drum, and regular DB zero for my snare. The Db one bass drum head has good rebound, and the patch on the center gives it some punchy sound that I want, and also protects the head from fraying overtime from the beaters hitting it. Very happy with these drum heads, and quality seems very good, but one thing I want to point out is the color. I wish Evans made white DB drum heads like Remo silent stoke.

I was looking for a low volume option for home practice. Evans claims an 80% sound level reduction with these. That checks out. Yet, there is enough tone to get that real drum sound. The main thing for me is the feel of playing a full-on acoustic set without the volume. Practicing for hours on a electronic kit with hard rubber pads was hurting my wrists. These Evans heads allow for the right amount of rebound without being either too dead or too bouncy. Love the bass drum head! They hit the sweet spot for feel. Now I can practice without driving everyone out of the house. Coupled with low-volume cymbals, this is a winning setup. If there is one criticism, it is that this should be offered with 12" and 13" tom heads instead of 10" and 12". Fortunately, I am using a 4 piece setup. Bottom line... these are not cheap, but they are worth it.

Although I use these on electronic drums set with a standard stadium while playing gospel they seem to work really good. However I purchased one for my snare drum and trying to tone down the sound to muffle and they just weren't loud enough not even to pick up on the recording. Good head good company. If you're going to be playing like gospel or in a closed area or an area where you need to keep the noise down this is an excellent head

These are a great choice to bring drum volume down while keeping a good solid sound. I also changed out the cymbals with low volume. I am happy with the changes because now I can play without ear protection and annoying my family. I tried Evans muting pads and they were garbage. These actually sound like the drum should, just much quieter. I’m about to get a 14” for the new floor tom I have coming. Also want to mention the snare head sounds great, very close to a real snare, and you don’t need to use the chain below. The head gives the effect of the chain and it surprisingly sounds very similar. Only downside, the bounce back on these isn’t quite as strong as normal drum heads. It’s an acceptable loss to me though. I would definitely buy these again. I highly recommend these.

Perfect for apartments or townhouses!!

It’s an incredible product I really enjoy play now with confidence that I’m not messing with my neighbors and the quality of the sound is great.

Evans is the head on 98% of my drums. I tried these because the advertising suggests that the are louder than the db zero heads. I have 5 drum kits ranging from 4 piece to 8 piece. So this isn't a random purchase. I really was hoping that the Evans db One would be "The One". Pearl, Remo, Evans... all fall short when it comes to low volume heads. These are no better than my Remo Silent Strokes or my Pearl Muffle Heads. They all have to be tuned up with painters tape to slow the airflow. My formula has been to cover 30% of the diameter of the snare or tom heads. 85-90% of the bass head, if you want any usable volume for practice. Evans is a fine product. It's just that nobody has this figured out yet. Perfect fit. Functional for feel, if Silent (not reduced volume) is your goal. Easy to use. Duribility should last if you use a contact patch.

Fa il suo dovere: rimbalzo da pelle volume adatto a suonare in casa tono realistico (ovviamente chi fa la nota è la risonante che nel caso del rullante occorre occorre alzare molto, quasi un timbale) unica pecca l'impossibilità di staccare essendo la "cordiera" parte della pelle mesh, certo non si può avere tutto ma per studiare/esercitarsi in appartamento è ottima

Açıklama ile ürün tutmuyor. Bir tane mesh head geldi sadece.

Excelente baja el sonido de la bateria en un 80% lo que permite tenerla y usarla dentro de casa sin aislantes de ruido ennparedes o puertas.. 100% efectivos!!!

Acquisto indispensabile per chi vuole suonare ogni giorno a casa. Le pelli sono incredibili. Tom eccezionali. Risposta molto simile a quelle tradizionali. Cassa ottima suggerisco non riempirla molto per avere un effetto più realistico. Forse da migliorare il rullante. Bisogna abituarsi un po al rimbalzo, meglio non tirarla molto. Insomma sono il miglior compromesso rispetto ad altre alternative come per esempio le mesh. Amazon e rivenditore spettacolari

Ce produit est top, aillant une batterie acoustique et vivant essentiellement de nuit il m'arrive de parfois avoir envie ou besoin de jouer tardivement de la batterie. Je n'ai pas encore essayer de prise de son par micro mais le résultat est la! Atténuations du bruit conséquente, la sonorité ressemble un peut a celle d'une batterie pour enfant mais après quelques réglages je devrais obtenir un son qui me correspond très atténué.
