Evans is a drumhead manufacturer founded in 1956 by Marion "Chick" Evans, who produced the first commercially viable synthetic drumhead using polyester film. The innovation replaced traditional calfskin heads with a weatherproof, consistent alternative that transformed the drum industry. Originally based in Dodge City, Kansas, the company was acquired by D'Addario & Company in 1995 and production moved to Farmingdale, New York, where it remains one of the three major drumhead manufacturers alongside Remo and Aquarian.
Evans produces heads for snare drums, toms, bass drums, marching percussion, concert percussion, and world percussion instruments including congas, bongos, and timbales. The brand's key innovations include Level 360 Technology, which ensures the drumhead sits perfectly level around the bearing edge for improved tuning and tonal range; the EMAD (Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping) bass drum head system; UV2 coated heads with ultraviolet-cured coating for enhanced durability; and the dB One low-volume mesh heads for quiet practice. Evans also offers the Sensory Percussion system, a hybrid electronic-acoustic integration platform.
Evans drumheads are used by a wide range of professional drummers spanning genres from jazz to metal, including Danny Carey of Tool, Dennis Chambers, Dave Lombardo, Omar Hakim, Keith Carlock, Nate Smith, Larnell Lewis, Anika Nilles, Eloy Casagrande, Jay Weinberg, Kenny Aronoff, Glenn Kotche of Wilco, and Jojo Mayer.
Evans has 116 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Drum Set Accessories, Drum Hardware Parts, and Drums. Their gear is featured by 136 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Pop. Notable users include Eloy Casagrande, Art Cruz, and Shaun Foist.
