Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 12-inch EVANS Black Chrome is a black tom batter head designed to bring added mid-low weight to a smaller drum. Its two-ply design pairs a clear 7-mil top with a 7.5-mil black bottom, supplying body beneath the natural attack associated with high-impact drumming. EVANS describes the result as punchy and robust, with precise articulation and tight sustain. The head is also presented as an option for stage and studio use where tom microphones need less EQ adjustment and tweaking.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Smaller 12-inch toms that need richer, deeper mid-low presence within a larger drum kit.
- Stage or studio tom miking where reduced EQ adjustment and tweaking is useful.
- Heavy-hitting playing that calls for a two-ply tom batter head.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers seeking a single-layer head; Black Chrome uses clear and black film layers.
