Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
For over 60 years, EVANS has developed drumheads designed to meet the practical needs of drummers, with major innovations in synthetic head technology. The Tune Up kit fits into this "solution" approach: restoring a snare drum to top condition quickly, with coherent components ready to install.
Who This Drum/Kit Is For
This kit is aimed at beginner to intermediate drummers who want to regain a snare drum that is easier to tune, with fewer unwanted harmonics. It is particularly suitable for rock, pop, funk, gospel, studio contexts and any situation where a clear attack and controlled sustain are desired.
Features and Innovations
The pack combines an HD Dry batter head (precision-drilled vents with an internal muffling ring) with a thin, responsive resonant head, plus a 20-strand Blaster snare wire to enhance the snare's presence. Included accessories (cleaning, lubrication, muffling) facilitate regular maintenance and tuning stability.
Sound Characteristics
With the HD Dry, the snare drum gains in control : the attack is more pronounced, harmonics are channeled, and sustain is shorter, helping to achieve a usable sound without over-muffling. The Snare Side 300 provides a sensitive response across all dynamic levels, while the Blaster snare wire emphasizes a stronger presence and a crisp response.
