What matters in use
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 01
Brighter and more open than coated. More attack and sustain, less of the dry, warm coated tone.
Detail 02
The side you strike. Goes on top of a rack tom or the playing side of a floor tom.
Detail 03
An uncommon tom size. Confirm your shell is 15, not 14 or 16 — heads do not stretch to fit.
Detail 04
Evans' heavier tom line, built to take harder hitting with a shorter, more controlled sustain.
Detail 05
One drum, one side. A full tom change means a resonant head as well.
Final check
Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
No. Brushes need a coated surface for the sweeping sound. A clear head gives almost nothing back under a brush.
Clear is brighter with more attack and sustain. Coated is warmer, drier and shorter, and it works with brushes.
It is built as a tom batter head. Snare batter heads are made for a different tuning range and stick response, so use a snare head instead.
Only if your bottom head is old or damaged. This replaces the top side only.
