Testing the New Evans UV2 Coated Drumheads | Season Two, Episode 40

After years and years of trying out different drumhead combinations and getting to develop and experiment with new ideas in a prototyping context, it’s still a blast to get to try something new and fresh. After nearly 14 months since receiving our first prototypes of the Evans UV2 drumheads, the final version is out and @evansdrumheads sent us some to check out + many of you have been asking when we’d feature them here. Today is the day!

Regardless of your preferred brand/model/playing style, this fresh look at a new set of drumheads and considerations as to the important factors will be applicable to all drummers. ⁣
