Evans G2 Coated Drumhead 14" - 2-Ply Batter Head | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Evans G2 Coated is a 14" two-ply batter drumhead built for drummers who demand versatility without sacrificing tone. Constructed from two layers of 7-mil film for a total thickness of 14mil, the G2 delivers a well-balanced blend of sustain, depth, and attack that translates across a wide range of playing styles and genres. The coated finish adds additional warmth, focus, and a slightly dampened response compared to the clear version, making it a particularly strong choice for snare and tom applications where controlled tone and feel are priorities.
Product Overview
Evans has been a drumhead industry standard since 1956, when the company pioneered the original plastic drumhead — a weatherproof innovation that permanently changed how drums were manufactured and played. Today, Evans heads are produced at state-of-the-art facilities in Farmingdale, New York, where precision manufacturing yields consistency and durability that professional drummers worldwide rely on night after night. The G2 is one of their most enduring designs, trusted across decades of touring, recording, and everyday playing.
The two-ply 7-mil-plus-7-mil construction gives the G2 more body and durability than a single-ply head, with a slightly warmer and more controlled sound profile. Rack toms open up with a singing, musical quality while floor toms develop a deeper, growling low-end character. The coated surface enhances these qualities further — adding focus and warmth while providing an excellent surface for brush playing and cross-stick technique.
At 14", this head fits a standard snare drum or mid-range rack tom. Whether you're replacing a worn head or upgrading to a better-quality batter, the G2 Coated is a reliable, time-tested choice that performs consistently from the first strike.
Ideal For
- Drummers who play across multiple genres and need a single versatile batter head that handles rock, jazz, funk, and everything in between
- Snare players seeking a coated surface that performs well with sticks, brushes, and cross-stick technique
- Tom players looking for a two-ply head with warm, focused tone and improved durability over single-ply options
- Recording drummers who want controlled sustain and depth without heavy muffling or dampening rings
- Players in Idaho Falls upgrading their kit with a professionally manufactured, industry-standard drumhead
