Evans 13" Heavyweight Snare Drum Head

If your snare drum is the voice of your kit, then the Evans 13" Heavyweight is the megaphone. Designed for drummers who don’t just play hard—they demand results—this head is built like a tank and sings like a beast. Whether you're hammering out explosive rock fills or commanding the groove in a high-octane punk set, this head doesn’t flinch. It responds with power, clarity, and focus, no matter how brutal your backbeats get.

At the heart of its unshakable confidence is a dual-ply construction, with two layers of 10mil film. That’s thick, sturdy stuff, engineered to take relentless punishment without sacrificing tone. A 3mil reverse dot, tucked neatly underneath, reinforces the centre sweet spot where most of the action happens. It enhances the attack, tightens the sound, and adds extra muscle without choking the drum’s natural voice.

You’ll notice a dry, articulate sound with short sustain—perfect for styles where definition is king. And thanks to Evans’ Level 360 technology, tuning is a doddle. The head seats properly on the shell right out of the box, giving you even tension, improved pitch control, and a head that stays dialled in through gigs and sessions alike.

The Evans Heavyweight series isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s for the player who needs consistency under fire. And at Musicmaker, we know exactly what that means. This one’s a no-nonsense solution for drummers who want to feel every note hit home with authority.
