Evans Drumheads has been in the music industry for more than 40 years, and those six words best describe the history and vision of the company. Decades ago, Evans was the pioneer of drumhead manufacturing and design. Today, we are the innovators.
Most people don't realize that Evans invented the synthetic (or plastic, or polyester) drumhead in 1956. Chick Evans was the first person to use polyester film to form a drumhead, succeeding in creating a weatherproof head, and ultimately changing the drum world forever. Chick's accomplishment is clearly substantiated in letters and documents on record, dating back to the 1950s. The plain truth is, Evans was the first.
Since acquiring Evans from owner Bob Beals in 1995, J. D'Addario & Company, Inc., has moved the company from Dodge City, KS, to the state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities in Farmingdale, NY.
