The Evans Strata 1000 Concert snare drumhead is crafted from a single ply of 10-mil film. It offers a darker timbre and a warm tone that closely mimics the sound of thicker traditional calfskin. With Evans Level 360 Technology, it's super easy to tune, has an extended pitch range, and delivers top - notch sound quality. It's sensitive enough for gentle playing and can project well when needed. Ideal for Jazz, Orchestra, and Big Band music. Key features include a single ply construction, 10 - mil textured film, a resemblance to natural skin, warm and full sustain, mid - range attack, and the ability to blend and cut through the mix.
Using this Evans drumhead is a breeze. Just put it on your concert tom drum following the standard drumhead installation process. When tuning, you'll find it easy because of the Level 360 Technology. Start by tightening the lugs evenly. You can adjust the pitch to your liking, whether you want a lower, warmer tone or a higher - pitched sound. For delicate playing, like in a jazz or orchestra setting, use lighter drumsticks. When you need it to project, like in a big band performance, use heavier sticks. As for maintenance, keep the drumhead clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to make sure it lasts a long time. And remember, if you notice any signs of wear and tear, it might be time to replace the drumhead.
