Evans MX5 Snare Side Marching Snare Drumhead - 13"

High-Tension Articulation for 13-Inch Snare Shells

When you're tuning a 13-inch marching snare, getting the bottom head dialed in can be a challenge. You need something that can handle intense high-tension cranking without pulling out of the hoop, but still gets plenty of snare response. By blending a single ply of 5mil aramid fiber with a polyester laminate, the Evans MX5 resonant head delivers both: a durable head with a more responsive feel than traditional full-Kevlar bottom head. If you're looking for the crisp sound of a modern DCI snare line, this is the head for you.

Evans' Overtone Control Ring tightens up the sound and reinforces the edges of the head for added durability, and the Level 360 Technology collar ensures that the head sits perfectly flush with the bearing edge. This uniform contact streamlines the tuning process for instructors and tech staff, providing an even stretch that holds its intonation through extreme shifts in heat and humidity between rehearsals and performances.
