Evans BD16CT 16inch Calftone - Bass

As part of the D’Addario family, a global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and consistency. Years ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they're still at the forefront of innovation. Made in the USA, the Evans Calftone is a synthetic option that looks and sounds just like traditional calfskin heads. It uses a 12mil Mylar base combined with special materials to create warm, full, and rich tones. It brings out the best in vintage kits and gives modern drums a classic look and sound. The Calftone heads have a Level 360 collar, which helps the head seat properly. This makes tuning easier and provides a wider tonal range. Thanks to Level 360 Technology, the Calftone has the traditional calfskin look and sound, along with consistent fit and tuning range.

Using your Evans Calftone bass drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry. Then, place the drumhead on the drum and use the tuning lugs to attach it. Turn the lugs evenly to get the right tension. You'll notice it's easier to tune because of the Level 360 collar. When it comes to playing, you can use different drumsticks to get various sounds. For a warm and rich tone, use wooden sticks. As for maintenance, keep your drumhead away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. After each use, wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth. If there are any stubborn marks, use a mild cleaning solution. Also, check the lugs regularly to make sure they're tight. This way, your Evans Calftone will keep performing well for a long time.
