Evans debuted its innovative ultraviolet-cured UV1 single-ply coated snare/tom drumhead in early 2017, and many drummers raved over its chip-resistant textured finish and slightly punchier tone. Earlier this year, the company added versions for bass drums, including a basic UV1 single-ply as well as UV1 versions of the popular EQ4, which has an internal muffling ring, and the EMAD, which comes with two interchangeable externally mounted foam dampeners.
