Evans 16" G12 White Coated

I've only played these heads at band practice and so far I'm very pleased with the sound. The G12s seem to have a bit quicker decay and a slightly warmer sound than a standard 10mil single ply head, which is why 12mil drumheads are my new favourite pick for tom batters. I'm using them on my 13" and 16" toms. I dig the fact that drumhead companies are offering more "in-between" options. As far as pros and cons--these are perhaps not as deep and mid-range dominant as a standard double ply and not as bright and open as a standard single ply. The stick attack also seems a bit more present than a double ply head. Make of these points what you will. In short, if you're looking for something different and perhaps want an alternative to standard single ply, double ply and pre-dampened heads then give these a try. Other "in-between" options include the Remo Vintage A, Remo Ambassador X (which Thomann doesn't carry actually), Evans G14 and Aquarian super-2 series heads.

Bin bei meinem Sonor Delite von Remo Ambassador Clear Medium auf die Evans G12 umgestiegen und war positiv überrascht.

Das Resultat: Ein gut kontrollierter Sustain und bei enstprechender Stimmung ein viel besserer Rebound.
Selbst bei nur oberflächlichem Stimmen ist bereits ein unterschied deutlich hörbar.

Bei den Clear Medium Fellen habe ich bisher mit Moongel gearbeitet, was nun mit dem G12-Satz nahezu überflüssig geworden ist; genau so einen Klang sollte es für mich haben.

Für die nächste Zeit habe ich wohl meinen Fellsatz gefunden.
