Evans G2 Coated 8" Tom Drumhead (B08G2)
Versatile Tone, Exceptional Durability, and Easy Tuning for Dynamic Drummers
The Evans G2 Coated 8" Tom Drumhead (B08G2) is a highly popular and incredibly versatile drumhead designed to deliver a perfect blend of depth, sustain, and attack for your tom drums.2 As a flagship product in Evans' renowned G2 series, this drumhead is a favorite among working drummers across various genres, from rock and R&B to pop, due to its consistent performance and robust construction.3
The G2 Coated drumhead features a two-ply construction, with each ply made from durable 7mil film, totaling a thickness of 14mil.4 This dual-ply design provides a high level of consistency and durability, allowing for extended playing time while maintaining its sound integrity.5 The coated treatment on the surface delivers additional warmth, focus, and depth to the tone, and also provides a unique translucent appearance that offers a subtle texture, making it excellent for brushwork.6 The 8-inch size is ideal for rack toms, allowing them to "sing" with clarity and resonance.7 A key innovation incorporated in all Evans drumheads is the Level 360 Technology.8 This revolutionary collar design extends the level playing surface 360 degrees around the drum, ensuring proper contact between the drumhead and the drum shell.9 This results in ease of tuning, an extended pitch range, and optimum quality of sound, addressing the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads not fitting perfectly. All Evans drumheads are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, guaranteeing high quality and consistency.10
