Evans dB Zero Mesh Drumhead 14 Inch

Previously, I was using a drum practise pad that was just sitting on my snare, but it still felt very dead compared to the bounce from a proper skin. So I bought this, in the hopes I'd get the rebound - and yes, it's much better. Volume is obviously a bit higher than the pad, but as long as I keep the snare wires off, it's still not loud enough to bother others in the house. Mesh heads, and Centren low volume cymbals have revolutionised my practise, and my relationship with the neighbours!

Well priced very responsive, Exactly if not better than I expected!

Good, much spongier feel than a real drum head, but essential for those lockdown licks.

I’ve had Evan’s heads before so I thought I’d be getting a quality item. I don’t play in a band, I just play at home a couple of hours a week. This head lasted roughly 2 hours before tearing. I expected a lot better

Reducing sound from snare drum but moves around too much on drum .

Many reviewers note mesh heads have a lot of rebound - I couldnt tune this out. Also lots of web forum chat on risk to bearing edges - seems unlikely to me but not worth the risk on a decent kit

No complaints at all. Produces a surprisingly good tone and feels like it'll last a long time.

消音ヘッドは登場した当時に使用してみて、余り静かでもなく打感が良くないという印象があったのですが、Evansの消音ヘッドは適度な音量で打感が良く、練習様にはバッチリだと思います。 静かさを追求したい方はボトムを外す＆ミュート調整等が必要と感じます。

I bought a pack of these for the whole kit to better control the drum set with mics at my medium sized church. Now we are able to control them through the mains and balance everything well. Obviously you lose some of the tone because they are mesh heads, but they work for my purposes. I am a drummer and love the feel. My other few drummers are not the biggest fans, but the congregation hasn’t complained about the drums being too loud now.

Purchased these for an acoustic to electronic conversion. So far they are working out well. Good quality for the price.

De momento todo muy bien

Feels close enough to a real head. It is pretty quite, and does still have some drum sound for feedback, which is good for practicing. Some of that has to do with the resonant head, so I suppose they could be more quite if on both sides of the drum or leaving the bottom head open. I can play just fine in the next room, with the door open, while people watch TV or talk or whatever they want. The Zildjian L80 cymbals accompany these heads very well. Remo silent stroke heads are an extremely close comparison to these, their mesh may be a little tighter, and may have a similar drum sound when practicing. The Evans are only offered in black, which is what I wanted, whereas the Remos are only offered in white. Either are a fine choice. I tried one of these on the little 13" snare first, then outfitted the rest of the kit to match. Big plus to using a mesh head over other types of mutes, you don't have to worry about them falling off and moving around while your playing. Nor do you have to worry about the kids just removing them and enjoying being loud while everyone else suffers. Mesh heads are the best thing to happen to practicing at home since the invention of the drum head (animal skin).
