Has anybody ever have an Evans 12in G2 sound dead on and of the drum? I can't get any sustain out of this head compared to the Remo 12in clear Emperor I had on the drum.
This is more common with some Evans heads than you might think.
Surely not?? It flies in the face of everything I read on drum forums. It's a widely reported Drummerworld fact that only Remo could be capable of manufacturing and selling this type of junk.
We shall call it a Revans head.
Ben, with respect, it shouldn't get past your QA. If drummers are used to tap testing heads, there's no reason why you're QA staff can't do the same. Dealing with customer replacements is far more expensive than ensuring it doesn't happen in the first place. Then there's future sales damage due to bad experiences to factor in too. It's the customers who walk away from your product & don't complain that are responsible for the biggest loss of sales. These are the hidden costs to your business that the bean counters fail to appreciate. Putting money into tighter QA, & especially when the solution is so simple & low cost, is money very well spent.This can definitely happen on occasion. Static charge can cause the two plies to attract or repel, thus causing a dead head. Please PM me your mailing address and I'd be happy to send you a replacement. Sorry for the inconvenience.

My thoughts on this are, if someone could build a drum head with the inherent sound quality of a Remo head with the resiliency of the coating of an Evans head, I would have to look no further.

However, let me put this into context. In our experience, Evans heads show far less inconsistencies than Remo, by a ratio of around 5:1, but it could be far less with small adjustments to inspection criteria.
I faced the same problem too on my sonor force 3k7, other drums (8,10,14,16) sounds fine but just the 12 inch sounds dead. Evans G1 clear over G2 clears. Thinking of switching to g plus coateds on toms soon...
Tard Aquarians are not available all on Long Island unless you order them.

So what if I have a dead head and the store doesn't understand that the static charge thing can happen? Will you send replacement heads to New Zealand?
