Evans 13" Hybrid Snare Batter Coated

I like to play my snare with a lot of tension on the batter head. I was looking for a snappy high pitched sound that cuts through the mix, I use this head on a Tama John Blackwell 13" by 6,5" singature snare . This head can be tuned with extreme levels of tension giving a high pitch without any overtones or sustain. I do not use any dampening control for this head, no moongel, sound rings or any other dampening is needed for this head. Although very heavy and durable when tuned high this head is also very sensitive and gives you a great dynamic range, from the lightest of ghost notes to insanely load rim shots. I used this head for 7 months now, played in studio and several concerts with a heavy metal band, play it evey day in practice or rehearsal and it hasn't lost any of its characteristics. I wonder how long it will take for this head to be replaced. It's more expensive than other heads, but it's a lot more durable (would have needed at least 2 powerstrokes by now) and gives some characterisitcs no other head on the market has today. When you look for a clear bright snappy sound without overtones or sustain, this head is for you.
