Evans TT18G1 18inch G1 Clear - Tom

As part of the D'Addario family, a global leader 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 they're still at the forefront of innovation today. The Evans G1 Tompacks come as pre - packaged sets of three tom heads, sized to fit the most common drum set configurations. These G1 heads are crafted from a single ply of 10 mil film and are available in both coated and clear options. The single - ply design gives an open, expressive sound that suits all music genres.

Using your Evans 18 - inch G1 Clear Tom Drumhead is easy. First, make sure your drum is clean and dry. Then, carefully place the drumhead over the drum shell and tighten the lugs evenly. Start by hand - tightening all the lugs a bit, then use a drum key to gradually tighten them in a star pattern until you reach your desired tension. For different sounds, you can adjust the tension of the lugs. A looser tension will give a deeper, warmer sound, while a tighter tension will produce a brighter, crisper tone. When it comes to maintenance, keep your drumhead away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the film. Wipe it gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dust and fingerprints. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it might be time to replace the drumhead.
