Evans BD18RB 18inch EQ3 Reso Black - Bass

As part of the D'Addario family, a global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and reliability. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they're still at the forefront of innovation. This EQ3 Reso bass drum head, made in the USA, is a single 7mm resonant head. It has an offset 5' microphone port with a plastic sleeve that sharpens the pitch, and an internal overtone control ring. The EQ3 produces a warm, punchy sound with a short, well - controlled decay, perfect for both live gigs and studio recordings.

Using this Evans EQ3 Reso bass drum head is easy. Just attach it to your bass drum as you would with any other drum head. When setting up for a performance or recording, adjust the tension of the head to get your desired sound. For a warmer and more punchy tone, try a medium tension. If you prefer a sharper sound, increase the tension a bit. When using the microphone port, make sure the plastic sleeve is properly in place to focus the pitch. As for maintenance, keep the drum head clean. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and humidity, as this can affect the quality of the head. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it might be time to replace the drum head.
