Product Description
As part of the D'Addario family, a world - leading name in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand stands for top - notch quality and reliability. Decades ago, Evans led the way in drumhead manufacturing and design, and today they're still at the forefront of innovation. These Calftone drumheads, designed, engineered, and made in the USA, are a great synthetic substitute for traditional calfskin. They look and sound like calfskin but offer the consistency, perfect fit, and wide tuning range thanks to Evans' Level 360 Technology. Made from a 12mil Mylar base combined with special materials, Calftone drumheads produce warm, full, and rich tones. They can bring out the best in a vintage drum kit and give modern drums a classic look and sound. You can use Calftone drumheads as both batter and resonant heads.
Using your Evans 13 - inch Calftone tom drum is easy. First, make sure it's properly installed on your drum kit. If you're using it as a batter head, hit it with your drumsticks to create those warm, rich tones. As a resonant head, it helps to enhance the overall sound of the drum. When tuning, use a drum key to adjust the tension rods until you get the desired pitch. Remember, the Level 360 Technology ensures a wide tuning range, so don't be afraid to experiment. For maintenance, keep your drum in a dry place away from direct sunlight. Wipe it down with a soft cloth after each use to remove any dust or sweat. If you notice any signs of wear and tear, it might be time to replace the drumhead. With proper care, your Evans Calftone tom drum will serve you well for a long time.
