Specs
Calftone drumheads are a synthetic alternative to traditional calfskin.
They embody the look and sound of a natural skin but with the consistency, fit, and tuning range made standard with Level 360 Technology.
These heads bring out the best of a vintage kit and evoke a classic appearance and sound from modern drums.
Made with a 7mil film base and blended with unique materials, these heads are thinner than our bass heads to help optimise the sound for smaller drums, higher tunings, and greater tonal response.
For over 40 years, Evans has been a pioneer of drum head manufacturing and design. Known for innovative designs such as EMAD, EC2S, and the Hydraulic series, Evans drum heads are made in the USA in a state of the art manufacturing facility. Acquired in 1996 by D'Addario and Company, the global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand is synonymous with quality and consistency.
