If this was proper comparison why not compare a Remo Ambassador against an Evans G1 or a Remo Emperor against an Evans G2. Not a Remo Ambassador against an Evans G2 which according to your description you did. Single ply against Double ply?
I have always gravitated towards and used Remo drum heads. They seem to have more tone & life to them than Evans drum heads. I especially love the Coated Emperor & Clear Pinstripe heads the most.
They both sound great. I've not found an Evans snare head I liked, but this one sounded good. That crisp, sensitive, balanced tonality of the Remo was vary famaliar and pleasing to my ears.
My 2 main reasons for my choice of Evans is based on the sound of the snare and the kick. The Remo seemed to just have too many overtones on the snare. Maybe just the tuning?
Both snare heAds were single ply but trying to compare single ply to double ply tom heads is just a waist of everybody's time if you ask me . And no mention of what reso heads do to make a difference either .
Never liked the sound or feel of evans heads. Most evans heads I have tried sound sterile and lifeless to me. Remo sounds great but they are not durable at all. I find Aquarian is a good middle ground and they make plenty of different kinds of heads too.
12ealDeal where you from Aquarian is definitely higher in price just singular heads alone. But packs is like $12 higher than Remo or Evans packs it's ridiculous that's why I won't switch to them I love their brand other than their Damn prices.
I've played Remo sincr I started drumming but as time went on I decided to try Evans and so far Evans has been giving me the sound I've been searching for for years! I'm very pleased with Evans and even tho both drumhead companies make some great heads I personally think I'm gonna stick with Evans.
Remo sounds more alive, more vibrant. Evans is a bit more dead, which is why I guess some people say Evans are "easier to tune". Less overtones = more controllable. But I'd rather have a vibrant sound that I can tame to taste, than start deader and not be able to add life to it.
That's because they are single ply heads, where as the Evans heads are 2 ply. This is a comparison between 2 completely different types of drum heads. It fails on the most basic level.
I think regardless I've always found they have more tone than Evans no matter what. I use weatherking vintage emperors and powerstroke 3 coated snare ... I've stopped using clear heads in general.... They sound so plastic, both brands, but remo always had an edge for me. Maybe it's the crown logo haha... Granted many very famous drummers use Evans...i dunno...
EQ wise the remo snare head had more hi end and hi mids. A bit harsh for me but nothing an EQ couldn’t sort out. I like the chunkiness of the evans snare head but the lo mids made it sound a tiny bit muddy. I’d go for the evans snare head over the remo
Great comparison here, Colin, and some tasty playing. Always wanted to play something other than Remo, but I keep coming back. Video shows the difference might be more in my head than what I get off the kit.
Yes but the Remo is single ply and the Evans is 2-ply, so they are completely different types of heads. It's like comparing one brand's ketchup with another brand's mayonnaise. Useless comparison.
There is a difference between. Evans are a tad more slappy sounding on Tom's and punchy on snare. Remo has more depth in tone but with slightly more overtones.
Not only that . If they couldn't even compare the same head designs , I.E. Either single ply to single ply or two ply to two ply , did they even bother to tune the heads to the same pitch between the two ? Sheesh !
@@Rikster_79 As do I but I thought I'd point it out all the same. This video has the potential to mislead a lot of people and I really think those who made it should have known better.
@ John Pail I noticed that to and it was repeatedly . But it was a dumb comparison to begin with seeing hoe two ply heads were compared to single ply heads . I don't know what they were thinkin'
Not really a drummer, I love drums and have alot of fun with them. What I did notice is the evens seem to have a focus to the tone. Like they are tighter sounding. Its not better or worse. But thats the only difference I can tell
Why did you compare single ply heads from one brand against double ply heads from another brand ? Would make a lot more sense if both were either single or double ply
Evans have always been more durable for me but sacrifice a bit resonance. Remo give a bit more of an open sound but the durability has always been an issue.
Nice video - whilst I prefer Remo, under the microphone, in a drum mix, and further in a band and sing mix, who is going to notice what drum head you’re using? :-) Just find the one that annoys you the list with tuning range, overtones etc.
Stop please....Cant anybody do a head test without cymbals. Remove them from your kit and every time you were thinking of smacking a cymbal do another Tom fill.
Absolutely . And enough with the snare too . Fills around the Tims and some bass drum doubles are what's really needed . Most of this was hi hat cymbals and snare .
focusing on snare here: remo seems a little brighter, but i can barely tell them apart. id probably go with that, i have to say, but i doubt i could tell the difference
There's actually some good TH-cam comparisons out there where they do just that . Same drum four or five different heads . Then they go to the next size drum and on and on .
even time i try to use Remo, i always have issues with it old or fresh heads, Aquarian not as much as i did in tha past but still was unhappy with both Remo and Aquarian however Evans was way easier for me to deal with and i had way better success with using Evans on everything especially when i only play on Pearl drums
To my ears is Evans for the toms, but Remo for the snare! That's good for I have just purchased a set of Evens Black chrome for my toms, but I am still experimenting with the snare - maybe Remo has the answer! 🤔
Remo deffo .... but that’s from an Aquarian player. I’ve tried all three “top” brands... Evans is bottom for me. Never got the sound I want from them. Good comparison video 👍🏻
This comparison fails on the most basic level. Comparing a 2-ply Evans drum head with a single ply Remo drum heads. Come on Andertons, you're making yourselves look like fools by making such a school boy error.
Remo always seem to have more resonance than Evans (2 ply at least) I always use emperors or smooth white emps. My drums (Yamaha) sound best with Remo Works well for me at least
Kinda redundant to compare two-ply heads to single. G1 vs Ambassador or G2 vs Emperor would have made more sense. Also, no crashes might've worked better for this one. Anyhoo, good tones and it's very cool you're making these kind of comparisons, keep 'em coming!
They used the same film both evans and remo the diff is the glue the collard and different technic of manufacturing wich evans and aquarian is way better than remo no evans are made in china but every’ones ear is different 👏👏👏🥁🥁🥁🥁🇨🇦🇨🇦

Not a Remo Ambassador against an Evans G2 which according to your description you did.
Single ply against Double ply?
Exactly
Exactly 😅
Yeah . Also duplicating fills from one to the next would be nice and add a lot more accuracy when attempting to make a comparison .
I have always gravitated towards and used Remo drum heads. They seem to have more tone & life to them than Evans drum heads. I especially love the Coated Emperor & Clear Pinstripe heads the most.
Kick - emad, toms - remo, snare - both good
They both sound great. I've not found an Evans snare head I liked, but this one sounded good.

Same here. The emperor x is my fav snare head but I prefer evans tom and kick heads.
My 2 main reasons for my choice of Evans is based on the sound of the snare and the kick. The Remo seemed to just have too many overtones on the snare. Maybe just the tuning?
The Evans are 2 ply and the Remos are single ply. It's not an even comparison. They should have chosen either a single or 2 ply head from both brands.

Yes Aquarian’s more expensive by me too.
Been using coated vintage emperor for 15-20years.... Lasts forever... Very little ringing....powerstroke 3 coated snare
Even on my phone I can hear how much more plastic the evans sound..

Evans has a warmer tone, in my opinion
@Liam Hayman
I thought the opposite .
If I’m going to be brutally honest I can’t really hear a huge difference. I tend to go remo because they come with a snare head in their sets.
EQ wise the remo snare head had more hi end and hi mids. A bit harsh for me but nothing an EQ couldn’t sort out. I like the chunkiness of the evans snare head but the lo mids made it sound a tiny bit muddy. I’d go for the evans snare head over the remo
Not me . There's a reason why the coated ambassador is the industry standard snare batter .
Great comparison here, Colin, and some tasty playing. Always wanted to play something other than Remo, but I keep coming back. Video shows the difference might be more in my head than what I get off the kit.
They do and Remo wins out
Yes but the Remo is single ply and the Evans is 2-ply, so they are completely different types of heads. It's like comparing one brand's ketchup with another brand's mayonnaise. Useless comparison.
@@alanpartridge4681 Remo are better sounding heads when compared to Evans..in any ply comparison..the end
@@NorthSeaWisdom I agree
Ketchup too mayonnaise . That good !
😂😆😆
@@Rancherinaz English is a second language for you?..good luck
Evans sounds brighter and Remo gave a deeper richer sound. It's going to be Remo for me.
The Evans are 2 ply and the Remos are single ply. It's not an even comparison. They should have chosen either a single or 2 ply head from both brands.
The Remos do sound better .
Even if the comparison was flawed
Evans sounds best on BD and Remo sounds best on snare/toms imho
RIP Aquarian

You're playing a lot of tom fills on evans but less with remo. Why?

You can't at all make an accurate comparison with two ply tom heads against single ply tom heads .
@@Rancherinaz your right! I didn't even notice that!!!
It's a drum head comparison so why make the focus of the video the cymbals?
Right ?!
Why did you compare single ply heads from one brand against double ply heads from another brand ? Would make a lot more sense if both were either single or double ply
Yeah
Evans have always been more durable for me but sacrifice a bit resonance. Remo give a bit more of an open sound but the durability has always been an issue.
Remo has always lasted really good for me and I play single ply as a heavy hitter
did anyone else see that they used remo reso heads for both the remo batter and evans
Josh McCausland maybe just stock heads, doesn’t matter, they didnt change them, thats the point, its just a comparison of batter heads
@@bisonsandlizards9136 Thats what I assumed too but I feel that for a proper comparison it should be both Evans and both remo
What's worse is they compared single ply Remos to double ply Evans .
How stupid
Dampened Remo head = Evans head

You know what you should do is have 2 ten inch toms and have one Remo and one Evans

I like both. However slightly prefer remo
The Evans are 2 ply and the Remos are single ply. It's not an even comparison. They should have chosen either a single or 2 ply head from both brands.
Alan is right . What a lame comparison
Evans have never been good for me on snares they sound flat and they wear out too fast
funny thing is Evans work better on Pearl drums than any others
I liked the Evans better. Especially the snare sound sounded better. Fewer overtones and more punch.
The Evans are 2 ply and the Remos are single ply. It's not an even comparison. They should have chosen either a single or 2 ply head from both brands.
Sounded to me like the Remos had less overtones even though the comparison was skewed by using single ply Remo and two ply Evans .
Evans G2 are two ply heads and Remo Ambassador clear are single ply...not so accurate comparison (Remo Emperor’s would have been the right choise)
I know right ?
What a lame comparison
To my ears is Evans for the toms, but Remo for the snare!
That's good for I have just purchased a set of Evens Black chrome for my toms, but I am still experimenting with the snare - maybe Remo has the answer! 🤔

@Alan Partridge
Correct . This was a stupid comparison .
In the future whenever you're testing drum heads spend more time on the drums than the symbols.....
Aquarian makes great heads also,
Maybe cut down on the amount of cymbals next time? A simple A B comparison on each drum followed by a few fills would have been much more useful
Absolutely
I think the evans got less high frequencys, i like the remo better.
RIP my English
I like the sound of evens
The Evans are 2 ply and the Remos are single ply. It's not an even comparison. They should have chosen either a single or 2 ply head from both brands.
I don't

@Ze Bubba
It makes no sense at all to compare these two . What a waste of time and effort .
Sound the same to me.
