Evans Hydraulic drumheads are made with two plies of 7mil* film, and a unique later of oil between these two plies. The oil provides a very high amount of dampening across the entire drumhead. The result is that overtones are almost nonexistent, and the sustain is very short.
If you want the short answer: The Evans G1 is one of the best single ply drumheads around, and it's an extremely popular choice for drummers worldwide. The G1 is a responsive head that works very well across most styles of music. It has a great tuning range, and is quite versatile.

Do drum heads make a difference in sound?
Rock drummers, on the other hand, looking for a brighter, louder sound will often pick one-ply. The difference between coated and non-coated drum heads is that coated heads provide a warm, focused sound. Non-coated heads offer a bright, clear sound and tend to be the most common drum heads used by drummers.
What drum heads are better Evans or Remo?
Generally speaking, Evans and Aquarian drumheads last longer and their coating is slightly more durable than Remo. I also played hard rock, grunge, and metal music, and Evans pioneered the EMAD bass drum head with built-in muffling around the edges.
What are the different types of drum heads?
There are 2 kinds of head on each drum. The side that you hit is the batter head while the bottom skin is a resonant head.
What's the difference between coated and clear drum heads?
Coated drumheads tend to muffle the sound a little bit while clear options offer brighter, more open sounds. You won't be able to achieve that sandpaper sound with a clear snare head. Coated tom heads make drums warmer than clear tom heads. However, clear models will offer more attack.
Where are Evans heads made?
