Evans '56 Calftone 10-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT10C7): Vintage Look, Warm Tone, and Modern Consistency

The Evans '56 Calftone 10-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT10C7) is a unique and sought-after choice for drummers who desire the classic aesthetic and warm, rich tone of traditional calfskin, but with the practical advantages of modern synthetic drumheads. Made with a blend of materials and a 7mil film base, it's designed to optimize the sound for smaller drums and higher tunings, making it perfect for evoking vintage sounds from both modern and classic drum kits.

Key Features for Vintage Sound and Reliable Performance

The TT10C7 drumhead is engineered with specific attributes to deliver a consistent, high-performance sound with a classic feel:

• Single-Ply 7mil Film Base with Unique Material Blend: This head features a single 7mil film base combined with unique materials. This construction creates a synthetic alternative that embodies the look and sound characteristics of traditional calfskin, offering warm, full, and rich tones. The thinner film base, compared to Calftone bass drum heads, is optimized for smaller drums and higher tunings, enhancing tonal response.

• Calftone Finish: The distinctive tan "Calftone" finish provides an authentic vintage aesthetic, perfectly complementing vintage drum kits or adding a classic touch to modern setups.

• Warm, Full, and Rich Tones: Designed to replicate the desirable sonic qualities of calfskin, this head delivers a balanced attack with a full, warm fundamental tone and moderate sustain. It allows the drum's natural resonance to shine through with a vintage character.

• Level 360 Technology: Incorporates Evans' revolutionary Level 360 Technology. This innovative collar design ensures a perfectly level fit on the drum shell's bearing edge, maximizing contact all around the drum. This results in easier tuning, an extended pitch range, and optimized sound quality and response across all tension points, crucial for achieving consistent vintage tones.

• Modern Consistency and Tuning Stability: Unlike actual calfskin, the synthetic construction of the Calftone head provides consistent performance regardless of humidity changes, offering reliable tuning stability.

• Versatile Application: While clearly evoking a vintage sound, its responsive and warm characteristics make it suitable for a variety of genres, including jazz, blues, R&B, traditional rock, or any style where a classic, organic drum sound is preferred.

• Made in USA: All Evans drumheads are proudly designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, upholding high standards of quality and consistency in their manufacturing process.

The Evans '56 Calftone 10-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT10C7) is an excellent choice for drummers seeking to combine the aesthetic and tonal warmth of calfskin with the durability and consistency of modern drumhead technology, bringing a classic feel and sound to their drum kit.
