Evans TT16HR Hydraulic Red Tom 16 Inch Drumhead

Evans Heavyweight Rough/Coated 16-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT16HR): Maximum Durability, Dry Attack, and Controlled Sustain

The Evans Heavyweight Rough/Coated 16-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT16HR) is an exceptionally durable and robust choice for drummers seeking a powerful, dry, and focused tom sound, especially for large floor toms. Engineered for the hardest hitters, this two-ply head is designed to withstand aggressive playing styles while delivering a fat, deep tone with significantly reduced overtones. Its textured coating provides a warmer feel and excellent stick articulation, ideal for precision playing and eliminating unwanted ring.

Key Features for Explosive Sound and Unrivaled Durability

The TT16HR drumhead is engineered with specific attributes to deliver a consistent, high-performance sound:

• Two-Ply 10mil Film Construction: This head features an incredibly thick two-ply design, with each ply being 10mil thick, totaling 20mil of highly durable film. This construction provides unparalleled longevity and maximum impact resistance, making it one of the most robust tom heads available, designed to endure the heaviest hitting on larger drums.

• Rough/Coated Finish: The unique rough/coated finish offers a slightly drier, warmer, and more articulate stick response compared to clear heads. This texture provides a "fatter" stick sound and further contributes to overtone control, which is crucial for a tight, controlled tom sound, especially on larger, naturally resonant floor toms.

• Powerful, Dry Attack and Controlled Sustain: Designed for high-volume playing, this head delivers an explosive, punchy attack with a remarkably short and controlled sustain. The thick plies and coating work together to minimize unwanted ringing, resulting in a fat, solid "thud" that cuts through loud mixes, providing powerful low-end definition for tom patterns.

• 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, making precise tuning simpler and more efficient.

• Extreme Durability: The 20mil thickness of this head makes it the ultimate choice for drummers who constantly break heads or demand the highest level of resilience and consistency from their gear, ensuring it stands up to the most aggressive playing environments.

• Versatile Application: Its powerful, controlled, and extremely durable characteristics make it exceptionally versatile for genres requiring maximum volume and a tight, dry tom sound, including rock, metal, punk, and hard rock, or any style where drumhead longevity and a focused, impactful tom tone are paramount.

• 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 Heavyweight Rough/Coated 16-inch Tom Batter Drumhead (TT16HR) is a dependable choice for drummers seeking unmatched durability and a powerfully controlled, dry tom sound with a precise attack, making it an excellent option for demanding musical situations and high-impact drumming.
