Evans Snare Side 200 Drumhead – 14″

The bottom head on your snare drum is often overlooked, but it has a huge impact on how your snare wires respond and how sensitive the overall drum feels. The Snare Side 200 is Evans’ thinnest snare-side head, and that ultra-thin profile maximizes wire contact and vibration for crisp, articulate snare response at every dynamic level.

Ghost notes come alive with this head underneath. The thin film lets the wires buzz and sizzle with minimal effort, giving you that lively, crackling snare sound that makes grooves feel alive. Rimshots transmit through the shell and activate the wires with authority, and even light touches register with clarity. If your snare feels choked or unresponsive and you have only been swapping batter heads, try changing the bottom first. The Snare Side 200 is often the missing piece of the puzzle for drummers chasing a more expressive snare sound.
