Six-ply North American maple tom shell
The maple shell is intended to provide powerful projection and a crisp, even tone.

Independent shopping perspective
Built as a 16 x 18 in. Providence Series floor-tom add-on, this Obsidian Black drum pairs a USA-handcrafted, six-ply North American maple shell with brass hardware. Its hand-cut 45° edges, low-mass fittings, and 2.3 mm triple-flanged steel hoops are designed to let the shell resonate while retaining a controlled balance of dryness and sustain. Spring-free shield lugs keep the hardware quiet in the studio, and Evans USA heads arrive fitted, stretched, and tuned.
