Using your Evans Strata Timpani drumhead is easy. First, make sure the drum is clean and dry before installing the drumhead. The pre-tensioned design helps with consistent tuning, so you can start by gently tightening the lugs around the hoop evenly. For the best sound, tune it according to your preference and the requirements of your performance. When using the drum, be aware that the smooth calf-colored coating is there to prevent mallet wear. So, don't use overly rough mallets that could damage the coating. After each use, wipe the drumhead with a soft, dry cloth to keep it clean. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This will help maintain its quality and prolong its lifespan.
