The Power Center is Evans' answer for drummers who want a beefy snare sound without going to a two-ply head. A coated single ply of 10mil film gives you all the sensitivity and openness of a traditional snare head, while a 5mil center dot on the playing surface reinforces the sweet spot for added durability and a slightly fatter tone. The dot is slotted so it flexes with the head instead of choking the vibration.

The result is a snare head that cracks with authority on backbeats, responds cleanly to ghost notes, and holds up to heavy playing without the tonal trade-offs of thicker heads. The coated surface is warm and brush-friendly, and the dot adds just enough focus to the center strike zone to tighten up the fundamental without killing the character of the drum. A proven design that has been a working drummer's favorite for years.
