With the Evans '56 Series, the American manufacturer taps into the trend for the classic drum sounds of the 1950s and ’60s. The Calftone heads are made from a modern Mylar blend that captures the sound and look of traditional calfskin, while offering clear advantages in durability and tuning stability.
The Mylar film used in the Calftone heads has a thickness of 12 mil, which is just over 0.3 mm. The special material blend produces very warm, full-bodied tones with the sustain typical of natural calfskin. In addition to the standard version, the Calftone heads are also available in two variants: EQ4 Calftone and EMAD Calftone.
