Evans Genera HD Dry Coated Head - 10"

The Evans Genera HD Dry Coated Head – 10" is the go-to solution for drummers seeking tight control, minimal overtones, and professional-grade articulation on both snare drums and toms. Engineered with Evans' signature HD (Heavy Duty) dual-ply construction—a 5mil outer ply atop a 7.5mil inner ply—this head combines rugged durability with a sharp, defined response. It’s built to handle aggressive playing, whether you're striking for dynamic snare cracks or tight, punchy tom hits.

A floating 2mil overtone control ring sits on the underside of the head, subtly taming unwanted resonance while allowing the natural tone of your shell to shine. Meanwhile, the perimeter dry vents work in tandem to reduce sustain and ring, delivering that crisp, controlled “dry” sound straight out of the box. It’s mix-ready without the need for tape, gels, or fiddling.

While it shines on side snares and auxiliary snares, it's equally brilliant on rack toms—especially when you’re after clarity over boom. Mount it on a 10” tom and discover a sound that’s tight, articulate, and incredibly usable in modern studio or live settings. Add in the warm, textured coated finish and the ultra-consistent Level 360 collar design, and you’ve got a head that’s as versatile as it is reliable.
