The Korena take
EMAD Calftone brings a calfskin-inspired look and sound to an 18-inch bass drum through a synthetic 12-mil Mylar construction. Level 360 Technology supplies the stated consistency, fit, and tuning range, while EMAD damping can be adjusted to add attack and focus. It suits a vintage kit or a modern drum that calls for the classic Calftone character, with warm, full, rich tone as its starting point.
