Evans CT10S 10inch Strata 1000 Coated Drumhead - Concert Tom/Snare

Evans Strata 1000 drum heads are crafted with a 10-mil ply of textured film, offering a texture and tone similar to natural calfskin. They deliver a warm, full - bodied sustain and a mid - range attack, making them a perfect match for orchestras and wind ensembles. The thickness of these heads provides a great blend. When played softly, they produce a nuanced and dark sound. When you play louder, they can cut through the whole ensemble. Features include a 10 - inch diameter, single ply construction, 10 - mil textured film, resemblance to natural skin, warm and full sustain, mid - range attack, and excellent blending and cutting capabilities.

Using your Evans Strata 1000 drum head is easy. Just attach it to your 10 - inch concert tom or snare drum as you would with any other drumhead. For best results, make sure the tension is even across the head. When playing, you'll notice it works well at both soft and loud dynamics. For soft passages, a gentle strike will bring out the nuanced and dark tones. When you want to be heard over the ensemble, a stronger hit will let the head cut through. As for maintenance, keep the drumhead clean by wiping it gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Avoid getting it wet, as moisture can damage the textured film. Also, store your drum in a cool, dry place to extend the life of the drumhead.
