The Evans MS5 marching snare side drumhead brings a clean, controlled feel to high-tension marching snares without sounding stiff or overworked. Built with aramid fiber and a polyester laminate, this single-ply 5-mil head is tuned for fast articulation and a focused snare response that keeps extra noise out of the picture. That thinner snare-side profile lets the wires speak quickly and evenly, especially when paired with high-tensile fiber batter heads, helping the snare stay clear and articulate even as volume and tension increase. The result is a response that feels precise but still musical under demanding playing conditions. Available in 13" and 14", it’s a solid choice for keeping marching snares clear, controlled and consistent.
