How do Evans dB Tompack heads reduce volume?

Evans dB Tompack heads reduce volume by approximately 80% using a single ply of ShockWeave Mesh combined with Kinetic Transfer Foam (KTF) Technology. This construction transfers impact energy into sonic vibrations, significantly lowering the audible sound while maintaining a true acoustic tone and feel for practice.

What is the difference between batter and resonant tom drumheads?

Batter heads are designed for the top striking surface to withstand stick impact and define attack and tone, whereas resonant heads sit on the bottom to sustain, project, and shape the drum's natural decay. Using a dedicated resonant head on the bottom ensures optimal resonance.

Can I use these Evans dB heads for live performances?

No, Evans dB Tompack heads are specifically designed for low-volume practice and educational purposes, offering an 80% volume reduction. They are not intended for live performances or studio recording where full acoustic drum volume is required. For those applications, standard Evans drumheads are recommended.

How do I choose between clear and coated tom-tom heads?

Clear tom heads deliver a sharp attack, bright sustain, and modern punch suitable for rock and pop styles. Coated heads provide a warmer, rounder tone with softened highs, making them ideal for studio recording, jazz, and classic rock. These dB heads are mesh, offering a unique low-volume sound profile.

Why choose this product

Quiet Practice, Uncompromised Sound

For drummers in apartments, shared housing, or educational settings, the Evans dB Tompack offers a revolutionary solution. Its advanced ShockWeave Mesh and Kinetic Transfer Foam technology drastically reduce volume by 80%, allowing for practice sessions without disturbing neighbors or family. Unlike basic practice pads, these heads retain a remarkably true acoustic tone and feel, ensuring your technique and musicality are not compromised. The reinforced Impact Patches enhance articulation, providing a responsive playing experience that mimics real drumheads. This imported pack ensures you receive authentic USA-made quality, directly sourced and delivered with all duties included.

Ideal For Practice & Education, Not Performance

These low-volume heads are perfect for drummers needing to practice quietly at home or for educators teaching students where controlling noise is paramount. They excel in situations requiring minimal sound output, such as late-night sessions or small practice rooms. However, they are not designed for live performance or recording where full acoustic drum volume is desired. If you need a full-bodied acoustic sound for gigs or studio work, consider Evans' standard drumheads. For drummers sensitive to loud noise or those needing to practice discreetly, these dB heads are an excellent choice.

How to use

Carefully loosen the tension rods on the current drumhead using a drum key. Remove the old head and any hoop. Ensure the drum shell rim is clean and free of debris. — Remove Existing Drumhead
Place the new Evans dB drumhead onto the drum shell rim. Ensure it sits evenly. Re-attach the hoop and loosely thread the tension rods back into the lug casings. — Install New dB Drumhead
Tighten the tension rods in a star pattern, gradually bringing the head up to pitch. Use a drum key to ensure even tension across the head for optimal tone and feel. Refer to Evans' tuning guides for best results. — Tune the Drumhead
