Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
EVANS Black Chrome in 16 inches is a tom batter head with a black two-ply build: a clear 7-mil upper film over a 7.5-mil black lower film. It is voiced around mid-low emphasis, with articulation and tight sustain retained for low tom and floor-tom use. The construction is designed for high-impact drumming, while the Roll-over Hoop is intended to add durability across a wide tension range. Its clear top layer also helps avoid black transfer to stick tips, white heads, and cymbals.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 16-inch low tom or floor-tom setups seeking clear articulation with stronger mid-low emphasis.
- High-impact drumming where a durable two-ply tom batter head is required.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a single-ply drumhead; this model has two film layers.
