Evans BD18CT 18inch Calftone - Bass

As part of the D’Addario family, the world - leading brand in musical instrument accessories, Evans is well - known for its top - notch quality and unwavering consistency. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they continue to innovate. Made in the USA, the Evans Calftone is a synthetic alternative that mimics the look and sound of traditional calfskin heads. It uses a 12mil Mylar base mixed with special materials to create warm, full, and rich tones. This 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 sit properly, making tuning easier and offering a wider tonal range. With Level 360 Technology, Calftone combines the traditional calfskin look and sound with consistent fit and tuning range.

Using your Evans Calftone bass drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry. Place the drumhead on the drum, aligning it properly. The Level 360 collar will help it seat correctly. Then, start tuning the drumhead. You can use a drum key to adjust the tension rods evenly around the drum. Go slow and make small adjustments until you get the tone you like. As for maintenance, keep the drumhead away from sharp objects to avoid tears. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures or humidity, as this can affect its performance. When not in use, store it in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition for a long time.
