Evans CT13S 13inch 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 like natural calfskin. They create a warm, full - bodied sustain with a mid - range attack, perfect for blending with orchestras and wind ensembles. The drumhead's thickness provides a great blend. Play softly for a nuanced, dark sound, or go louder to cut through the whole ensemble. Features include a 13 - inch diameter, single ply construction, 10 - mil textured film, resemblance to natural skin, warm full sustain, mid - range attack, and excellent blending and cutting ability.

Using your Evans Strata 1000 drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry. Place the drumhead on the drum and tighten the lugs evenly. Start from one lug and work your way around the drum, tightening a little at a time. This will ensure a balanced tension across the drumhead. When playing, you can adjust your playing style to get different sounds. For a softer, more nuanced tone, play gently. If you need to stand out in a loud ensemble, play with more force. As for maintenance, keep your drumhead clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Avoid getting the drumhead wet, as this can damage the texture and affect the sound. Store your drum in a dry place when not in use. And if you notice any signs of wear or tear, it might be time to replace the drumhead.
