Evans CT16S 16inch Strata 1000 Coated Drumhead - Concert Tom

Evans Strata 1000 drum heads are crafted with a 10 - mil ply of textured film, mimicking the texture and tone of natural calfskin. They produce a warm, full - bodied sustain with a mid - range attack, making them a perfect fit for orchestras and wind ensembles. The head's thickness offers a great blend. When played softly, it has a nuanced and dark sound, and when you crank up the volume, it can cut through the whole ensemble. Features include a 16 - inch diameter, single ply construction, 10 - mil textured film, a resemblance to natural skin, warm and full sustain, mid - range attack, and the ability to blend well and cut through the sound.

Using this Evans drumhead is easy. Just mount it on your 16 - inch concert tom as you would with any other drumhead. When you play, you'll notice that it gives a really nice warm sound, especially for orchestras and wind ensembles. For softer passages, play gently to get that nuanced, dark tone. When you need to stand out, hit it harder. As for maintenance, keep it clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off any dust or debris after each use. Avoid getting it wet as this can damage the textured film. Store it in a cool, dry place when not in use to keep it in good condition.
