Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
For over 40 years, EVANS has established itself as a major player in drumhead design, known for its innovations and consistent production quality. The UV2 series follows this philosophy: offering a "stage-ready" double ply drumhead that pushes durability further without sacrificing the musicality expected from a versatile coated head.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
The UV2 is suitable for both intermediate and advanced drummers seeking a durable batter head for the snare or tom heads with a warm and controlled sound. It excels particularly in rock, pop, funk, modern metal, and any situation where punch, definition, and exemplary durability are desired both in rehearsal and live performance.
Features and Innovations
Its key strength is the UV hardened coating which enhances wear resistance and preserves the feel and attack of a coated head for longer. The Level 360 technology improves the interface between the drumhead and shell for easier, more stable tuning and a more even response across the playing surface.
Sound Characteristics
With its two 7 mil plies, the UV2 delivers a crisp attack and a firm playing feel while maintaining a warm and clear tonal range on the toms. The double ply contributes to a shorter sustain and natural harmonic control, useful for achieving a clean sound without excessive damping accessories.
The UV coating treatment enhances durability and helps maintain a pronounced attack with medium brightness, ideal for cutting through a mix while retaining consistent definition even after long sessions.
