EvansDrum Heads - G2 Clear Tom Drumhead, 12 Inch

never tried evans heads but gotta say i really like the tone

Evans always the best when it comes to drum sounds

The new Evans G2 clear 360 outshine all in my opinion, even the old G2 clear. No flat punches or cheap overtones, just warm, full tonality. The harder you play, the more they sing. If you mix them for a live gig you will find other drummers asking you how you got them tuned and sounding so perfect. In fact, I still find myself playing fills and ignoring cymbals just because it's so fun to play the drums lol. Mine is a 7 piece PDP Concept Maple. With the F.A.S.T. sizing and the 360 heads it's near dummy proof for professional sound. I put Genera resonant heads on the flip. Tune the reso first!!!One word of advice for Amazon shoppers. Send a message to the seller and DOUBLE VERIFY that you're getting a 360 model and not the old G2. I ordered 12 heads for the set below and one seller sent me an older model 14 inch batter even though the website said it was clearly a 360. Now the stupid 14 inch tom batter sounds like crap and gets my OCD acting up. Honest mistake on the sellers part but still irritating. Sometimes sellers just google and hit copy/paste for descriptions. Do your homework.

I put this on my snare drum and now it makes sound again! Like holy angelic sound, since my old head was like 15 years old.

The G2 series is an excellent comprise between Evans' single ply G1 heads and the Hydraulic line which employs a layer of oil to further dampen a 2 ply head.When properly tuned, these heads have great attack, a focused tone, and nice sustain. I use them on all of my toms, which are 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16 inches respectively and I don't need any tape, rings, gels, or any other dampening devices. These heads are perfect as long as you take the time to tune them to a pitch that properly matches the drum they're on and make sure that both heads on the drum match in pitch.I am a longtime semi-professional drummer, and I've tried most every drum head out there. Evans is, in my opinion, the only company you need to bother with. While the others rest on products that haven't changed in decades. Evans continues to develop new ways to make drums sound amazing.

Always been using Evans for years and loved G2s even before tha 360 update and still love them now

Item arrived exactly as described. These came highly recommended by a good friend in a band for our intermediate 11 year old drummer based upon quality sound for a small drum set. Haven't installed yet, waiting for drum key to come in.We ordered these, last minute, with 4 other drum heads--but only one package of the 5 were due in on time for Christmas at the Point of Sale screen. Amazon pushed them all to the same shipping order, and lo' and behold-- Christmas eve-- all 5 items arrived via Santa's helpers at Fedex! Kudos to whichever warehouse this came from for seeing this commonality and making this happen in time for Christmas. [Item bought with Evans G2 Tompack, Clear, Standard 12",13", & 16"]

I bought a kit the other day and it came with these heads on it. I had never used the Level 360s before (always been a Evans Coated guy). Well damn....these things blow all the others heads out the water! I loved the heads so much that I bought them for my second kit as well. I even had some life left on my old heads, but I loved the sound and feel of these too much to wait! Excellent response and attack! It may be my imagination, but these seemed to tune very quickly unlike some of the other heads I have used in the past. Buy these. You can't beat the price and they make your kit sound fab.

Whilst this drum skin is great and has a brilliant sound, the packaging was terrible on mine. The box was badly damaged upon arrival and the drum skin was dented. Luckily it wasn't damaged too badly, but it could have easily been worse.

Great quality and price son was happy

Not much to say. You love Evans heads, or not. I love them and this is a great sounding head.

It was a 10" head not an 8"

Haven't tried live yet but sounds good.
