Evans 8" Calftone Tom Batter Drum Head

Warm Calfskin Character with Modern Tuning Consistency

The Evans Calftone Tom Batter Head gives your tom the warm, full character of traditional calfskin while retaining the consistency of a synthetic head. Its single-ply 0.18 mm (7mil) Mylar base is blended with specialised materials to create a calfskin-style surface with a rich, rounded voice and natural-looking finish.

Under the sticks, the Calftone has a balanced attack, medium-bright character and moderate sustain. Notes speak clearly without sounding overly sharp, while the warmer overall response gives fills more body and keeps the decay controlled. That combination suits jazz, orchestral and big band playing particularly well.

Level 360 Technology helps the head seat evenly on the drum, making tuning easier and providing a wider usable pitch range. The synthetic construction also gives you predictable response while retaining the look and tonal character associated with calfskin.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this tom batter head is best for drummers who want warm vintage character with enough attack and sustain control to keep toms clear, resonant and musical.
