Using your Evans TT14HB 14 - inch Hydraulic Blue Tom Drum Batter Head is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry before mounting the head. Loosely attach the head to the drum using the hoops and tension rods. Then, start tightening the rods evenly, going around the drum in a star pattern. This will help you get an even tension across the head and a better sound. When tuning, you can use a drum key to adjust the tension. Listen for the sound you want; a higher tension gives a brighter, higher - pitched sound, while a lower tension gives a deeper, warmer sound.
For maintenance, keep your drumhead away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures as these can damage the film and the oil layer. After each use, wipe the head gently with a soft, dry cloth to remove any sweat, dust, or debris. If you notice any signs of wear or if the sound starts to change, it might be time to replace the head. And remember, since these drumheads are made in the USA, you're getting a high - quality product that's built to last, so take good care of it and enjoy great drumming.
