What matters in use
The specifications, translated
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 02
Tenor head
Built for outdoor marching tension and stick attack, not the lower tuning range of a kit tom.
Detail 03
Black finish
Cosmetic on the field and consistent across the arc. Black shows scuffs from stick marks more readily than coated white.
Detail 04
MX series
Evans' marching designation. Staying inside one series keeps feel and response consistent across the drums.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One head only — a full tenor set needs several diameters
- 02Check your drum's actual size before ordering; tenor arcs mix diameters
- 03Retensioning after a head change takes time; do it before a rehearsal, not at one
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this work on my drum set tom?
It is designed for marching tenors, which are tuned much higher than kit toms. It will physically fit a 14-inch tom but will not respond the way a tom head should.
02Does this cover my whole tenor set?
No. This is a single 14-inch head. Tenor sets combine multiple diameters, so you need one head per drum.
03How do I know I need a 14?
Measure the drum shell across the top, edge to edge, or read the size stamped on the hoop or the old head.
04Is black just cosmetic?
The finish is what you see on the field. Match it across the arc if the line already runs black heads.
