Evans E14J1 14inch J1 Etched - Snare/Tom/Timbale

As part of the D’Addario family, a world - leading brand in musical instrument accessories, Evans stands for top - notch quality and reliability. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and they're still at the forefront of innovation today. The Evans J1 series, designed, engineered, and made in the USA, is perfect for multi - dynamic and highly resonant timbale head and rim - click performances. Its etched single - ply 10mil film works great with brushes and hand strokes and is sensitive across all dynamic levels. The textured surface resists chipping from drumsticks.

To use this Evans E14J1 drumhead, first make sure your drum is clean and in good condition. Carefully place the drumhead on the drum and adjust the tension evenly using the tuning lugs until you get the desired sound. When playing, you can use brushes, your hands, or drumsticks. If you use drumsticks, be gentle to avoid excessive wear on the textured surface. For maintenance, wipe the drumhead with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove any dirt or sweat. Store the drum in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the drumhead from drying out or warping. If you notice any signs of damage like chipping or tearing, it's time to replace the drumhead.
