Evans 12" UV1 Coated Tom

Non mi sono mai piaciute le pelli mono strato, ma queste...

Durano tantissimo, non si sporcano (quasi) ed hanno un suono incredibile!

Sono un ibrido tra mono strato e doppio strato come sonorità, ricche di basse frequenze, hanno un feeling bellissimo sotto la bacchetta e le ho trovate davvero versatili.

L'occhio vuole la sua parte e vedere le pelli della batteria sempre belle pulite ha il suo piacevole effetto.

Evans con questo nuovo trattamento a raggi UV si è superata e non posso che consigliare questo prodotto a tutti i batteristi.

Ich habe nun sehr lange klare zweilagige Felle gespielt, weil ich musikalisch im Metalbereich zuhause bin und die Haltbarkeit von einlagigen und beschichteten Fellen, wenn ich sie mal ausprobiert habe, nie befriedigend war. Diese Felle machen aber einen großen Unterschied. Zum einen bieten sie den Attack, den ich bei härterer Musik brauche. Zum anderen sind diese Felle fast unzerstörbar. Nach nun 3-4 Monaten und fast täglichem Spielen sehen diese Felle auf der Snare und auf den Toms immer noch aus wie neu! Wahnsinn. Einziger Punkt, der stilistisch bei Metal nicht passt: Die Snare hat einen offenen Sound, den man eher in anderen Stilrichtungen vermutet. Früher habe ich aus dem Grund gerne gedämpfte Snarefelle gespielt. Zum Glück gibt es Moongel, damit bekommt man den Sound sehr gut kontrolliert.

Zusammengefasst: klare Kaufempfehlung für alle Stilrichtungen!

I usually use two-ply tom heads for longevity, but the idea of a head with the tone of a G1 or Ambassador with the toughness of a G2/Emperor really appealed to me.

This head is not quite that. The good new is that the heads seems virtually indestructible. After months of use, there barely a mark on them. They can, and have taken punishment that would visibly dent most 2-ply heads.

But IMO they do not really sound like single-ply heads. They do not really have the openness and crispness of G1's or Ambassadors. Neither do they have the focus or fat attack of G2's or Emperors.

In their defense, the UV1's do tune up very easily and do not sound offensive in any way. But it strikes me as a jack of all trades and a master of none since sonically, it does not really bring anything to the table that I couldn't get before with "regular" heads.

I would still like to try the UV1 on snare though, as the coating seems like it would be great with brushes!
