The Evans Reso 7 16" Coated Tom Head is a 16" tom head that is coated, and made from single-ply plastic. Evans Reso 7 series features a single ply of coated 7mil film that provides a full tonal response with a shortened sustain without the need for additional muffling. With the Reso 7 heads, Evans is finally putting an end to the assumption that the batter head dictates the resonance and sustain of a drum. In fact it is the resonating head that is responsible for these two sound characteristics. A thin resonating head has a similar effect on the sound as a thicker batter head, only with significantly less sustain. The thin material thickness of the Reso 7 heads with a coated surface produce warm and full sounds which do not build up on each other but remain defined and precise.
