Literally the best tom comparison video I have ever seen on the internet. Your tunings were identical, the drum was identical, the environment was the same and you got to the point quick.
You should do Remo Pinstripes VS Evans EC2 next.
Love your vids btw. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much!!! I appreciate you bro
@@thecowboydrummer I appreciate you man! Loved watching your channel grow overtime and hearing your story!!
HELL YEAHH!!
Remo has a crown for a reason!
Whilst I agree that both manufacturers make great heads, Remo’s more open sound makes it just that sliver more versatile in comparison to Evans. You can always add dampening, but you can never add sustain to a wide open head. I can see how some would like that extra focus out of the box, but it sounds more synthetic to me. That goes with the coating too, Remo coating sounds and feels less synthetic and plasticky.
Speaking of feel, again I can understand why some would prefer the stiffer feel to an Evans head. I much prefer the spongier give that comes from a Remo, especially for those of us who have wrist problems!
Disagree. Remo heads sound like wet paper bags and they don't stay in tune.
I agree! Plus, I tried the UV heads and could not stand the plasticy sound and feel from it. Maybe it’s because I grew up on Remo and it’s what I remember it should sound like.
The FEEL is major thing to me. I love the sound of Evans, I played them for a good over 10 years! One of the things that pulled me away was how the head felt under my hands.
I would be playing 3-4hr shows almost back to back weekly and my hands would hurt because the heads felt tough. It was harder for me be expressive with ease, to a degree!
Since I switched back to Remo it just feels so good under my hands. It allows me to flow :D
You never know for sure until you do a blind test. Both heads are excellent and I'd be fine with either one on a kit I was playing. I've leaned slightly more towards Evans over the years but Remo is classic and well regarded for a reason. Honestly in this test I'd be hard pressed to be able to discern the difference if I couldn't see them.
Had UV1's on for a year of gigs. Minimal dents and i dont tickle the drums brother. Great channel. I subbed
Joey, you certainly know how to run a sound comparison video. One sound right after the other sound. You did a masterful job here. To me, the sound is so similar for me to call out which one I like more. I guess the feel thing you mentioned is needed. Thanks for this great test.❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thanks for the feedback Greg!! 🤘
@ 🫡
I’m not actually following you 🔦 I watch his and lost of there’s to keep learning. I don’t normally read all the comments but just wanted to see people’s reaction, I’ve used both Remo and Evans, I’ve been Remo for a while.
You must be a regular you know his name.
@ Yeah, I found him a couple of weeks ago when he started rating drum sets when viewers sent him a picture. It’s just for fun. I sent him a pic of my set, but he hasn’t rated it yet.
@ , I have watched many of his videos and shorts , just actually subscribed today, I see he has many kits, including my Walnut Mapex kit. After resting yesterday, I did a new song, but I’ll actually post it tomorrow morning. I normally just post them when I finish them.
I’ve had the same UV1 on one of my snares for like 7 years and it still sounds amazing, they are indestructible!
Agreed they both sound great. I also like the Aquarian Super 2 Nice work, thanks
Wow they both sound like drums.
Wow!
@thecowboydrummer seriously, good content, bro!
Great Comparison 👍 . You're clear & straight to the Point.
They both Great Heads / Manufacturers .
I myself use Evans.
Based on this video, I have to say the Remo sounds a "touch" better. A bit more open.
Thanx , Great Work.
I’m a Remo guy, I’ll always love the sound of a classic emperor coated. The Evans sound really nice though, warm controlled tone. Great demo and comparison
Remo is more opened in the tone. For today, that’s more what I like. But who’s to say I’ll feel the same next week. Good comparison! I got the UV2’s on one of my kits and they sound great and they sound more modern.
UV2 won for me. Seemed more warm and controlled, while the Remo had more harmonics and ringed more. Cool video, man!
the UV2 wins for me. The best tom heads I had in years. And the UV coating last 100 times longer than the remo stuff. Quality wise remo let me down too often lately, so I switched completely to evans. Remos coating wears off way too quick, their dots on the controlled sound snare heads came off after 2 weeks (twice in a row) and evans heads sit more nicely on the edge, so the tuning stability and controlled sustain is superior. My UV2 tom heads look just like brand new after numerous studio and live sessions. Evans did their homework
I watched a video with Greg Bissonette using a coated CS Black Dot and the dot was peeling off as he was playing it. I will never use Remo heads again 😒
@@StumptownDrummer it's a shame because I loved that head on my snare. great tone, but quality sucks
My 12" CS black dot has lasted for more than 10 years now! A lot of metal recently and all of the coating is gone from the middle, no other problems tho
@KingArttu my old remos did last as well, I'm talking about the heads I got 1-2 years ago. something in the quality control in the last years has gone wrong
Dang Joe. I’m using UV2’s on top and UV1’s on the bottom of my Sonor SQ1’s. The sound is what I call ‘Big Marshmallows of Death’.
They sound very similar, but the Remo has an almost brittle underlying crackle - I think due to the head not being fully seated and broken in, where Evans does seem to sit instantly. The UV2 has a little less slap in a good way too.
Great comparison video! I'm in the UV2 corner all day. I much prefer that warmer more controlled tone and resonance. I've used Remo's for a great number of years and started trying out Evans' heads around 5 years ago. I still have Remo heads on one of my drum sets, but I only purchase and use Evans for the past couple of years now. One man's opinion.
Love the uv2 but for recording metal they don't have enough snap on the rims for recording. Emperor clear is the snappiest tom head I have found. This is also on very thin 4.5mm shells.
You're correct, both brands are amazing and it's what works for you that matters. I prefer how Remo has more personality and life to it. Are there times when I need more control? sure, but that's when I opt for a dampener of some sort. To each his own. I often put Aquarians on as well. Same goes for drum brands. All the major players have amazing kits at various price points. Again, it's what works for you.
I prefer the more open and less controlled sound of the Remo Emperor coated head. If you like a more controlled deader sound, the Evans UV2 does that. I like my drums to be a more open and slightly ringy sound as to why I prefer the Remo heads. Not only that, but the Remo heads are a bit less expensive than Evans' heads. I have the Remo mesh heads on my e-kit, and the Remo Emperor coated heads on my accustic drum set.
The UVs have a better attack I think. The Emperor has a little deeper fundamental tone. But in a mix in a crowd, nobody is gonna tell the difference really. Too close.
As for the feel, probably the Emperor feels a little more "spongy"?? That's how they feel to me. Where the UV seems to play a little better with better rebound. It's slight.
As for the quality, well the UV2 stays in tune. So does the Emperor, after a few weeks of tuning it back up several times a day. 😂🤣
I don't even bother to push down on Evans heads any more when I put them on! I don't see a need, other than for centering. The Remo ya gotta crack the glue over and over. They are both great heads! But I prefer Evans now. I won't put anything on my Supraphonic but an Emperor though. Just as respect for Bonzo.
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
UV2 for me. Thank you for doing this. I have been wondering what the difference would be. Would you you consider comparing EC2 clear and Pinstripe? That would be very cool and much appreciated.
The Evans sounds a bit muffled, whereas the Remo has a more open and airy sound.
The are both good you just have to think of them as tools.
If you are going for a more muted sound, the Evans is for you. If you are needing a more open sound then Remo is your ticket.
😊
Now, we are getting down to Brass Tax, Brother. The real issues of the day….
Mic Slaps official count:1(off camera)
🤣🤣🤣
Good work Joey
I run emperors personally but I do like how clean the UV2s sound. Id like to see these heads put up against Aquarian's equivalent
Subscribing for more tests. Excellent effort. I thought the UV2 sounded slightly more muffled. Very slightly.
lol for Me UV1 for toms UV2 for snares .Remo also makes great heads like the Diplomat M5 coated and Ambassador Honourable mention will be the EC2.
Great comparison! Before listening, I assumed I'd prefer the UV2, but to my ear the Emperor had a slight edge, with a little more percussive attack. I'd like to hear the comparison with a little more tension on the heads. I'd be happy to play either one, really. Prices as of Jan 4 2025: Emperor=$17.99. UV2=$26.99(!)
i tought you will put a fart sound or something on the remo head haha, but no, so appreciate it brother
Excellent comparison. The Remo sounds like it has a bit of ring to it..maybe multiple tones of ring. The Evans sounds more controlled. It might be my ears and no one else may hear it like I do but again..great video.
Hey good work. I would prefer you show and pursue both top and bottom heads be tuned to the same note so there is no pitch bend. Also same head, same note, top and bottom, then you'll really hear the difference. Also it depends on weather you are playing in your bedroom or doing gigs. You'll certainly know which brand works best in loud circumstance combat.
UV2 my choice as well, both great heads though
I think the remo will be louder, and cut through more in real world scenarios whereas the evans was more warm and controlled, initially more pleasant to the ear but quite muffled in comparison.
One of those heads SUUUUUUCKS! 😂
Killin it dawg
Sweet! Although an Emperor White Suede would’ve been a better contender than the regular.
I preferred the tighter sound of the Evans in solo. Could be different in a mix.
I like both and experienced drum heads from the three major companies, which are Evans, Remo, and Aquarian. Remo sounds nice and bright, but dies fast. Evans is like a mixture of both bright, warm, and durability, which is the brand I use right now. Aquarian is usually dark sounding, but also durable at the same time.
Oh c'mon you didn't include an Aquarian head in the comparo 😂
or Attack
UV2s for the win!
hey friend, just subbed to your channel, i like the videos i've seen so far. i have a few questions for you. one of them i asked in another video of yours, so i'm hoping you'll let me know on that, which is "where did you get your tuning key?" second, have you ever played Aquarian heads, and considered doing a vid like this with them? ( so i guess that one's a 2-parter ). and lastly, have you ever tried ( or even heard of ) the Tru Tuner head tuner by Jason Truda? i've owned one for many years now, and i'm telling you, it's amazing brother! it tensions ALL of the tension rods at the same time, and i really encourage you to look into it if you haven't.
Im an evans guy, but they both sound great
I think the Remo head had more resonance, but definitely like the Evans more.
thats like the snare drum tuning
Doing the same test on a 16x16 might be more enlightening.
Remo breathes and sing. The Evans head sounded muffled.
You should do a shootout with Aquarian as well
The ring or over tone is fine. Remo coated on a (for eg) snare in or out doors. The sound in front of u is diff from foh. The ring or over tone helps for better sound. Gives ur drum tuning some space, air, feel. The Evans nah - never been my go to. Their ok.
As I always say Remo is warmer more natural sounding it sounds like the drum the Evans sounds more like the head plasticky.
Evans sounds warmer, Remo sounds boingy
Remo has longer sustain of the note. Overall it is more resonant than the Evans head. I prefer the sound of the Remo to my ears. However, Evans heads feel really good to play. They seem to absorb the sticks with a bit more forgiveness. I find it easier on my wrists to play Evans heads in most cases.
Honestly, I hardly detected a difference. Use whatever heads you want. I prefer Remo over Evans, but that's more for nostalgic reasons.
UV2 for the win!
Next: Ambassador, Ambassador X vs UV1
I use Remo, but I will be changing to uv2 Evans
The Remo has more "boooiiing" while the Evans has less, I use Emporer and my brother uses Evans UV .
this isnt the fairest comparison 😭 uv coating on its own has a leg up on traditional coated heads
I used the same drum the same mic, same tune bot settings, and stick..its a VERY fair comparison brother!
@thecowboydrummer everything you did was great, i was just saying the heads themselves are different, no hate
I agree I think a better comparison would be a G2
I hear more highs in the remo
The Remo was already going out of tune lol. That's okay, Remo's need time to settle.
UV2: Purer note, clicky attack.
Emperor: More overtones, softer attack.
I like everything, so I like both.
Both sound good, but Remos quality has been getting lower since a few years, I have a Evans Heavy Weight on my snare since months in my Studio, at one of my Last shows, I one of my other snares, and put a Remo on there, the head was on there for about a week, then the head MID SHOW seperated from the rim, luckily I had a spare snare, but for 26€, I expect my Snare head to NOT do that.
i’m Evans guy, but here i prefer emperor - it’s more natural and uncompressed sound and feeling. that limited/compressed UV sound is not my thing, it’s not sensitive enough with a feather touch and limits the drum capabilities while smacking. have UV’s on my toms now. will i put another UV set - definitely not. will go back to my ol’ trusty G2’s Coated
Remo all the way. Sings more.
Evans wins for sure. Remo just has weird overtones that fuck up the sound. While evans is warmer and punchier
Yk, im a remo guy myself but in this video, sure Evans sounds better. But, irl, Evans sound soulless Remo has more body more lower end but Remo tends to be more tuning sensitive if you get what i mean
@ I switched from remo to evans a while ago cause remo just doesnt have the feel and sound. I like the warmer tones evans produces and remo just doesnt do it for me. And i mostly go for heads that sound good both in person and in recordings. And evans does that really well imo
@ i have the total opposite, every drumkit that has Evans on it sound the same, even when you put those drumeads on diffrent drumits and Remo lets you hear the difference between drumkits. Imo, if you want attack but dead sound get Evans, if you want to truly hear your kit sing and sound good get Remo. If you get your tunings right you will be rewarded much more when you get Remo compared to Evans...
Now there are drumkits that are made to have Evans drumheads on them and thats probably why some drumheads sound better with Evans drumheads, but, overall for me Remo sounds so much better.
@ I can’t really say i agree with that. I personally love using the evans EC2S for my toms. And they really bring out a controlled resonant tone that sounds exactly like I want and so on. And i mean i always tune my heads in conjunction with the tone of the drum so i don’t think it has anything to do with the head, more just how hou tune it.
@ then you must have a kit that is made for Evans drumheads because to me, no matter what type of Evans head you get it will always sound like sh*t
those drum heads on my catalina maple will all sound like absolute shit. having nice shells is way more important.
UV2 just seems compressed and lifeless to me, it's too 'clean' by itself. Probably great for a big kit with busy music, but not so great on its own.
Remo team --------->
The Remo sounds good, no doubt. But their quality(control) is not even close to that of Evans! The coating chips, the heads don't seat as easy, dots peel of after a couple songs... Plus the Evans points system is just too good.
UV all the way, although I prefer the UV1 for the snare and UV2's with black resos for the toms. I dumped Remo 25 years ago. The heads never fit correctly on some DW snares, no spin and occasional warped hoops. Evans fit correctly every time. Not to mention ZERO stick marks on the UV coating that keep the heads looking like new!
UV2 wins
Remo is better
