EvansOnyx 2 Drum Head Pack Rock - 10/12/16
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Three Onyx tom heads in 10, 12 and 16 inches. For rock drummers wanting a darker, more controlled tom sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Loud rock playing where toms need control, not ring
- Re-heading two rack toms and a floor tom together
- Drummers tired of taping or gel-damping every tom
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players chasing long, open sustain from their toms
- Kits sized outside 10, 12 and 16 inches
- Anyone who wants to see through to the shell
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
10/12/16 pack
One head per drum across two rack toms and a floor tom. No snare or bass head.
Detail 03
Rock sizing
Built around the standard rock tom lineup. A 10/12/14 fusion kit will not match the 16.
Detail 04
Controlled response
Shorter decay means less ring bleeding into mics — easier to record and mix.
Detail 05
Costs more than the clear pack
You pay for the built-in damping instead of buying rings or gels afterward.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your toms — the pack is fixed at 10, 12 and 16 inches
- 02No drum key, dampening rings or bottom heads included
- 03Toms will sound drier than before; tune up slightly to keep them singing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How is Onyx different from the clear heads?
Onyx is opaque and more damped — shorter decay, fewer overtones. Clear is brighter with more sustain and stick attack.
02Do I still need moongel?
Usually not. These control overtones on their own, which is the main reason to choose them.
03Are these good for recording?
Yes. The shorter decay and reduced ring mean less overtone bleed into tom mics.
04Does the pack include a floor tom head?
Yes — the 16 inch head is the floor tom. The 10 and 12 cover the rack toms.
