"They say, 'It's all been done before.' Maybe so, but in my playing, I strive to be different and make something original. I play D'Addario products for that reason. They are always inventing and putting out things that break new ground. That helps in the quest."

"Evans drumheads are durable as can be, while at the same time being fine-tuned and sensitive. There are so many options for you to find the sound that fits your playing and music style. They are always putting out new stuff to experiment with so as times change and they advance, you and your drumming advance with them.
The heads are easy to tune and stay in tune. I found the perfect blend of heads for my kit between top and bottom toms and kick and snare. The combination I discovered fits together perfectly and really makes the kit sing. The combo I chose works live playing and studio recording and always sounds consistent. Hands down and thumbs up, EVANS DRUMHEADS are the BEST!!!"
