It looks like a calfskin! It sounds like a calfskin! And it feels like a calfskin! But it's not calfskin, it's Evans '56 Calftone.

Manufactured in New York from advanced synthetic materials, and fitted with D'Addario's Level 360 Technologyâ„¢ to serve up the warm, familiar sound you love with the quality and consistency a modern drummer demands.

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.

Calftone is made using a 12mil Mylar base blended with unique materials to produce warm, full, and rich tones. Combined with EMAD features, these heads have the benefit of adjustable damping for added attack and focus.

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.
