Blending a vintage aesthetic with modern sound technology, these Calftone drumheads feature Evans Level 360 Technology. This tech makes tuning a breeze, broadens the pitch range, and ensures top - notch sound quality. Crafted from a 7mil Mylar base combined with unique materials, it produces a classic warm, full, and rich tone. Thinner than the Calftone Bass model, it's perfect for optimizing the sound of smaller drums, enabling higher tunings and better tonal response. Ideal for Jazz, Orchestra, and Big Band music.
Using your Evans 16 - inch Calftone 16C7 Tom Drumhead is simple. First, make sure your drum is clean and in good condition. Then, carefully place the drumhead over the drum shell and attach the hoops. Use a drum key to tighten the lugs evenly, starting from one lug and working your way around the drum. This will help you get a good, even tension across the drumhead. When tuning, listen to the sound. Turn the key a little at a time to reach your desired pitch. As for maintenance, keep your drum in a dry place to prevent the drumhead from warping. Avoid hitting the drum too hard in one spot all the time, as this can cause premature wear. If the drumhead gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. And remember, always store your drum with the proper tension on the drumhead to keep it in good shape.
