Evans UV1 Reverse Dot Coated Drum Head - 14"

The Evans UV1 Reverse Dot Coated Drum Head – 14" is the pinnacle of modern snare head engineering, created for drummers who need resilience, tone, and unmatched consistency. This head is a single-ply 10mil film, but don’t be fooled by its minimalist build—it’s armed with Evans’ proprietary UV-cured coating, making it one of the most durable and wear-resistant heads available today. No flaking, no chipping—just smooth, reliable response, even after hours of rimshots and ghost notes.

The real star of the show here is the reverse dot: a subtle 3mil patch on the underside of the head that adds focus, articulation, and controlled sustain without affecting stick feel or brush play. Unlike traditional centre-dot heads, the reverse placement maintains the top surface’s full responsiveness while giving you the added durability and tonal control needed for serious gigging or session work.

And of course, Evans’ Level 360 collar design ensures this head seats perfectly every time, meaning tuning is less of a battle and your drum responds evenly across its entire surface. Whether you’re playing dry funk grooves, cracking rimshots in a rock mix, or feathering delicate jazz patterns, this head responds with clarity and control.

At Musicmaker, we've seen this one become a fast favourite for working drummers looking for a reliable, all-genre snare head that performs night after night without wearing thin—literally.
