The Evans Hybrid Grey Marching Snare Drum Head blends two unique high-tensile fibers to achieve only the positive attributes that drum corps, percussion instructors, and players are looking for.
To answer the high-tension requirements demanded by modern drum corps activity, one fiber of the Evans Hybrid Drum Head was chosen for its extreme durability. As a result of its innate strength, this fiber produces the additional benefit of enhanced attack and projection.
The 2nd fiber in the Evans Hybrid Drum Head, however, was chosen for its flexibility and stretch. Its elastic nature allows the hybrid drum head to flex under the impact of drum sticks, producing a significantly softer feel. The inherent "give" in the batter head allows the air column inside the drum to be moved with greater ease, resulting in a more pronounced snare sound, resonance, sensitivity and dynamic range.

Decent
They sounded unique from the max series, but i still prefer the maxes. I found at a low pitch, they weren't as warm as the remo counterpart, but if taken up they sounded pretty good. they felt good but not as amazing as everyone makes it seem, the black max is only a little bit of a harded feel.

evans heads
Evans head may "pull" easier, but this is the result of uneven tension. If you tune with even tension around the head they wont pull. Don't crank the heads too much at a time especially the bottom heads evans makes. Great heads though. Great sound.

The best batter side on the market!
These batter side heads are probably my personal favorite to play on. I don't crank marching snare heads table top tight, but just below so I can produce a nice warm, wet, crisp sound (close to the sound Phantom Regiment's snareline gets). I've attempted to get the desired warmth, darkness,clarity, and power from other heads, but it has always required excessive tinkering and lots of minor adjustments to achieve the perfect sound (and has always been an even bigger pain to maintain). This head makes it a breeze, because it has been made to produce the ideal sound at any tension. Another big advantage of these heads is that when they're at the optimum tension they feel a lot softer than a White Max or any other comparable head at the same tuning. On other heads that have been cranked, often times a bit too high, that the extremely rigid feel they have can cause wrist pain after extended use, which is a big no-no. At the tension I tune our snares to, the heads have a lot more give and allow the stick to rebound smoother and get a fuller sound, rather than the hardness of a snare tuned to sound like a tinker toy. These heads aren't made for tuned like the heads in Drumline the movie or Cavies 2000 for example, I'm going to assume that the above reviewer's breakage had to do with improper tuning, which other heads aren't as sensitive to. (I would say something like a White/Black Max head is very hard to tune so unevenly that it will break - it's possible, but you would really have put some unequal tension on it, whereas there's a much smaller room for error on this head, but the sound is definitely worth this touchiness). I've found that you don't have to use a a Hybrid bottom head to achieve a great sound, but I would recommend them if you want to get the best sound possible. (On a side note, the snareside Hybrids have weaves of fiber in them so when you tighten them they tend to make indentations on the bottom edge of the shell, this isn't a big deal, but some may find it undesirable. The only con to these heads is that they are very sensitive to tuning - if you don't put equal tension on all lugs I can almost promise that they will pull after a short period of time. There is a much smaller room for error in the tension on Hybrid heads, and a combination of unequal tension and high tension can cause breaking or pulling much more often that other heads, but once you've gotten a feel for how the heads tune this shouldn't be a problem.

Dont buy these
I am currently a senior and all four years of marching season we have never broke a snare head. We decided to switch to all evans heads season and i alone have ripped through two of these (three counting everyone). Do not buy these, there not worth it.
