Problem and solution
Compact, easily transportable drum sets are becoming more and more popular. Most of these so-called street or Jam kits are equipped with a 16" Bass Drum, and that's exactly where the problem lies: Bass Drum heads were usually only available in sizes from 18" upwards, and in addition many of the 16" Bass drums are in fact converted floor toms on which a head made for Bass drums does not fit without further ado. The solution to this problem is presented by the American manufacturer Evans with the new 16" Bass Drum heads from the most popular series of its range.
Bass Hoops or Tom Hoops?
But the 16" size is not the only special feature of the new skins. Indeed, the skins from the EMAD, EQ4, GENERA and EQ3 series are each available in two different versions. The "Bass Hoop" skins fit regular Bass drums with a 16" diameter, while the "Tom Hoop" skins are suitable for converted floor Toms.
Evans EQ3
The EQ3 heads are made of a single layer of Mylar film with a thickness of 7.5 mil. An integrated damping ring eliminates unwanted harmonics and shortens sustain.
