D’Addario adds Calftone to drum head line-up

D’Addario’s Evans Drumheads has struck a blow for vegan drummers everywhere, with the launch of a new type of synthetic drumhead called Calftone, designed to mimic the sound, look, and feel of natural calfskin. 

Calftone is manufactured using D’Addario’s patented Level 360 Technology, and optimizes the sonic properties of vintage drums while giving newer ones “a distinctly classic tone; big, warm, boomy bass drum sounds, and full, round tone from toms”.

Bass Drumheads launched earlier this year, with tom and snare heads now available in the UK.

Calftone is the first line of products under Evans’ newly minted ’56 series. The product line features drumheads designed to give players mid-century sonic range and features Evans’ vintage logo. The ’56 series is named in honour of Chick Evans’ 1956 invention of the synthetic drumhead and the founding of Evans as a company, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. 

“The new Evans ’56 Calftone heads have just arrived and let me just say, they are superb!” said Evans artist Mark Kelso. “For any drummer searching for the warm sound and cushiony feel of a vintage head then the “56 Calftone is for you. The rebound response is excellent and the sound is pure tone. Love that slick new logo as well. The ‘56’ Calftone is welcome new/old addition to the already fine line of Evans drumheads.”
