These heads and cymbals are the best thing to come along for some time. It is great to relax in the home studio and practice at low volume and play along to your favorite tracks without flooding the house with sound. I find them easy to tune and they adapt to the tone of your acoustic set. No other low vol head work as good as this and the cymbals are phenomenal as well. You can also successfully mic the heads and cymbals for some really great sound to experiment with. I replaced all of the heads and cymbals on a Gretsch Renown maple kit and the purity of those shells maintain the acoustic quality that they are known for. This was a nice tuning video and recommended.

I love the heads except for the snare head. I'm not a heavy player, yet after about a month of daily use, the snare head had strands of the mylar break-away and dangle inside the drum. Sweetwater replaced it. There's no way to turn off the snare if you want to. As an experiment, I put the 14" tom head (ordered separately) on my snare drum, and it sounds incredible! It's super loud coming through the EAD 10, but that can be adjusted. It's way better than the dB One snare head. The Remo 14" Silent Stroke is better on the snare than the Evans dB One snare head.

1:19 really bothers me that he pointed it out, but didn't center the logo.

What if you have shallow Toms without resonance heads?

The one thing Evans failed to consider is turning off the snares. That's not possible with the Evans db One. I would go with all the Evans db One heads except for the snare and use Remo Silent Stroke for the snare. The Evans cymbals are louder enough to make a difference in certain situations and personally would go with the Zildjian L80s.

How do they feel compared to typical mylar acoustic heads?
