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 reliability. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today, they're still at the forefront of innovation. These Evans Calftone drumheads are made in the USA. They offer a synthetic alternative to traditional calfskin. Crafted with a 12mil Mylar base combined with special materials, they produce warm, full, and rich tones. They look and sound like natural skin but come with the consistency, perfect fit, and wide tuning range of Level 360 Technology. These heads can bring out the best in a vintage drum kit and give modern drums a classic look and sound.
Using your Evans Calftone bass batter drum head is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry before installing the head. Place the head on the drum and start tightening the lugs evenly, going around the drum in a star pattern. This helps to get an even tension across the head. When tuning, start with a loose tension and gradually increase it until you get the sound you like. Remember, it might take a few tries to get the perfect tone. As for maintenance, keep your drum head away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any dirt or sweat. If there are stubborn stains, you can use a mild soap and water solution, but make sure to dry it thoroughly. Avoid hitting the drum head too hard in one spot all the time, as this can cause uneven wear. With proper care, your Evans Calftone drum head will last a long time and keep sounding great.
