Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
The Evans G1 clear drum head is a great, all-around drum head well suited for Jazz and other drum styles where an open sound is desired. Little lighter than the Evans G2. I personally have been playing with G1s for a while now and they last and wear well. They’ve been great sounding heads and very versatile for different ranges of tuning.

It also allows quick, easy adjustments without having to remove the head from the drum—an especially valuable feature during recording sessions.

Evans emad bass drum heads are one of the greatest bass drum heads around. The dampening ring works perfectly. I don’t use any type of internal muffling with this head. It’s suitable for all types of music including rock, jazz, etc. You can achieve great sound results with this head and change up the amount of muffling on the fly. I swear by it.

It rounds out and flattens the drumhead's sound and allows easier tuning.

Cool Kit by Evans drum head company. I would think this would make for a nice present bundled up into a gift pack. Includes a durable reverse dot head. I’ve used this head before and it held up pretty well. Gives a nice controlled sound. It’s nice that it includes everything to freshen up your snare drums sound so you can do an “overhaul” all at once. It’s Evans, which is synonymous with quality.

I hope you can glean some information from these videos. Careful drum tuning is the core of  a drummer’s arsenal to achieving a great sound that both listeners and the player will enjoy.  There are a lot of drum tuning videos out there and it’s up to each drummer to find his or her personal sound.

Don’t skimp on time when tuning your drums. Pay careful attention to each step in regards to seating the head and properly tightening the lugs. Anyone can achieve great sound with a little drum tuning practice.

I personally tune my drums and use these tuning techniques often to keep the sound in top shape. If my drums don’t sound good, I’m actually less excited to play. It’s a mental thing….I don’t know. There’s nothing like hearing a great ringing tone come out of a drum head when you’ve hit the “sweet spot” after a drum tuning session.

There are different drum tuning techniques for different styles of playing like rock, fusion, jazz, etc. Head choice will determine how you tune as well. There are lots of drum tuning techniques to choose from out there.

Good luck and enjoy the never-ending drum tuning journey.
