Evans BD16MX1B 16inch MX1 Black - Marching Bass

As part of the D'Addario family, a world - leading brand in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and reliability. Years ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today, they're still at the forefront of innovation. This MX1 Marching Bass drumhead, made in the USA, is crafted from a single 10 - mm film ply. It delivers a bright tone and comes with a special tone - damping system. This system sharpens articulation and focuses on the low - end. You can adjust the felt damping arcs for both indoor and outdoor marching. The MX1 is available in various sizes and in black and white colors.

Using this Evans MX1 Marching Bass drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and in good condition. Then, carefully place the drumhead on the drum and tighten the lugs evenly to get a proper fit. For outdoor marching, you might want to adjust the felt damping arcs more loosely to let the sound project better. Indoors, you can make them a bit tighter for a more focused sound. When it comes to maintenance, keep the drumhead clean by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can damage the film. If you notice any signs of wear or tear, it's time to replace the drumhead to keep your drum sounding its best.
