Customer reviews about Evans E-Ring 14" Clear Snare 1"

Great dry snare sound - better than gels

racecar 15.05.2019

Absolutely love this for my snare, definitely prefer it to moongels or tape. It provides the perfect amount of dampening of overtones without muffling the snare too much. Gives you a great clean sound, really easy to mic or record, as well as a less ringy noise in smaller venues. It's also great as a quick fix for terrible-sounding rehearsal space snares.

Apart from the change in sound, you don't notice it's there at all. I've had some problems with moongel flopping around or coming loose, but this ring just sits flat on your head and stays there. I also prefer the clean look of a transparent ring.

A simple product that does exactly what it's suppose to

JD from Norway 07.07.2024

I have a cheap snaredrum that has a rather ugly ringing sound. I prefer a fairly dry snare sound, and the Evans E-ring fixes that problem perfectly.
I actually bought both the 1" and the 2" ring, so I can adjust how much dampening I get, which works very well.
It doesn't require any attachment, just drop it on the drum head, the rim of the drum keeps it in place. It takes 2 seconds to put on or to remove it.

Other than that, it is obviously a very simple product, it's plastic, it's solid, so I guess it is a very simple product to make.
But it also costs next to nothing, so I'm very happy with both my E-rings.

I have the set, 10 12 14, and 13 inch snare. These rings really bring out the mid range and lower frequencies of any drum, by removing the high frequencies, but still retaining good resonance. You do have to use care, because they are thin. Thomson has a good price on these, so replacement is not a problem. I have been gigging for three months with mine, no problems.

Useful and good price

Nipsu 03.04.2018

I use this on my snare to get a muffled, but not too muffled sound that still has high frequencies. Sits flat and doesn't rattle against the rim. With this price it's a no-brainer. Easy and very fast to use. There is a sicnificant difference between 1", 1,5" and 2" versions, and I have them all. If they break some day I will order new ones.

A must for every drummer

Animale 06.08.2020

Not much to explain about these.

Use these and gel pads, experiment, sometimes you'll need the one, sometimes the other, sometimes both.
But you won't need to tape your skins anymore.

Inexpensive Sound Booster!

Johnny Drama 01.10.2020

Love these. Use one (sometimes 2) on an LM402. They sound fantastic. There are no cons. They are fantastic. I would highly recommend them.

Just what was needed

David9361 09.05.2016

I used the E-Ring on my snare drum in what seemed to be a difficult room, sound-wise.

The annoying overtone/s were immediately cut which was amazing for such a simple product. The ring is also very lightweight and so easy to fit or take off.

I've yet to find a really good way to protect them when not in use though.

Perfect if you know what are you doing

Oresbius 09.06.2024

The impact to the sound is huge so ... I use it on my snare to get a focused sound with more body and less overtones. Its soft and very flexible so there is no way to jump from the head no matter how hard you play.

Handy bit of kit

Jon_B 19.08.2025

I have a few of the E-Rings - various sizes - and just make sure i have them with me to adapt my snare to the acoustic i'm in. Goes with out saying the 1" has less impact than some of the wider rings but for the cost they all do a decent job at helping control tone.
