Evans Clear 500 Snare Side Drum Head - 14"

The Evans Clear 500 Snare Side 14" is one of those drum heads that proves the underside of a snare drum deserves just as much attention as the top. Specifically designed for use as a resonant snare-side head, the Clear 500 helps maximise snare wire response, sensitivity, and articulation, making it a favourite among drummers who want their snare drum performing at its absolute best.

Constructed from a single ply of 5-mil film, the Clear 500 is thicker than Evans' ultra-thin 200 and 300 series snare-side heads, offering increased durability while still maintaining excellent responsiveness. The added thickness produces a slightly darker, more controlled snare response with enhanced body and reduced excessive buzz, making it particularly appealing for drummers who prefer a fuller, more focused sound.

Whether paired with a powerful rock snare, a versatile studio drum, or a deeper shell that benefits from extra control, the Clear 500 delivers consistent snare wire sensitivity across a wide dynamic range. Ghost notes remain articulate, backbeats stay punchy, and the overall drum sound gains a pleasing balance of attack and depth.

Like all Evans drum heads, the Clear 500 is engineered for consistency and ease of tuning, helping drummers achieve reliable performance in the studio, rehearsal room, and on stage.

At Musicmaker, the Clear 500 is often chosen by players looking for a little more durability and control from their snare-side setup without sacrificing the crisp response that makes a great snare drum come alive.
