Evans BD18MX1B 18inch MX1 Black - Marching Bass

As part of the D'Addario family, a world - leading brand in musical instrument accessories, Evans is well - known for its top - notch quality and consistent performance. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they continue to innovate. The MX1 Marching Bass drumhead, designed, engineered, and made in the USA, is crafted from a single 10 mm film ply. It produces a vibrant, bright tone and comes with a special tone damping system. This system boosts articulation and sharpens the low - end sound. You can adjust a set of felt damping arcs for both indoor and outdoor marching. The MX1 is available in multiple sizes and comes in both black and white colors.

Using the Evans MX1 Marching Bass drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry before installing the drumhead. Place it on the drum and tighten the tension rods evenly. This will help you get the best sound. When you're out marching, whether it's indoors or outdoors, you can adjust the felt damping arcs to change the tone. Indoors, you might want a softer, more focused sound, so adjust the arcs accordingly. Outdoors, you may need a louder and more projecting sound. Be careful when handling the drumhead. Avoid sharp objects that could tear the 10 mm film ply. If it gets dirty, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe it clean. Don't use any harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they could damage the drumhead. Store the drumhead in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
