Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
For a 15-inch tom, EVANS Black Chrome provides a black, two-ply batter surface with emphasis on body and mid-low frequencies. The clear 7-mil top film and 7.5-mil black lower film are designed for forceful playing while maintaining precise articulation and controlled sustain. Its tom sound is described as clear and deep at different tensions, without requiring tape or rings. In studio and stage-mic situations, the design is presented as needing less EQ adjustment than similar heads.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Mic'd tom work onstage or in the studio where less EQ adjustment is desirable.
- Heavy hitters who want a 15-inch tom head with mid-low body and defined articulation.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who require a white-finished head; Black Chrome is specified in black.
