Evans J1 heads have a non-coated, etched texture that retains the attack and sustain of a clear head, but still has the warmth and depth of a coated head. By blasting the head with fine particles, they make the film more flexible...allowing the head to breathe like natural skin. The J1 delivers a brilliant rim shot without sacrificing depth. Warm and dense in the center, the J1s resonate with a full sustain at the edges.
