Evans TT14RGL Resonant Glass 10-inch Tom Drum Head
Evans TT10RGL Resonant Glass 10-inch Tom Drum Head
Product Code: TT10RGLThe Pack includes one 10" RGL Drum head.
Evans™ RGL™ series features a single ply of 14.5mil film blending a bright tone, sustain and sensitivity.
The head sets the standard for an open and expressive sound.
Tuned low, it produces a cavernous rumble that emphasizes the natural sound of the shell.
Drumhead Anatomy
Ply Drumheads are typically constructed from either one or two plies, or individual sheets, of material. A single-ply drumhead, while less durable than a two-ply head, will respond quickly at a wide range of dynamics and resonate freely. A two-ply drumhead will typically be more durable than a single-ply head. In addition to greater durability, two-ply heads offer an increase in the amount of audible attack and often a shorter sustain.
Finish
The finish of the drumhead is most often thought of purely from an aesthetic point of view, though there are often sonic characteristics that go hand-in-hand with specific finishes. Coated or Frosted finishes are said to add warmth to the tone of the heads, whereas uncoated heads tend to have more definition or attack. Coated batter heads also offer a texture that is ideal for brushes. Though most people use clear reso-side (bottom side) heads, the use of a head with some form of coating will further reduce overtones and result in a warmer sound.
Tips for Achieving A Great Sound
Head Choice
Choosing the right head is the first step to achieving a great sound with your drums. Rather than choosing whatever drumhead is available and then adding duct tape, gels or stickers to modify the sound, explore the options for drumheads that have overtone control built in. If you’re a heavy hitter, explore the two-ply options available. If aesthetics are important, be sure to research the variety of finishes available.
Tuning
Before playing your drums, in practice or in performance, be sure to make sure that your drums are all in tune. When making adjustments to the tension of a head, be sure always to tune up to the desired tension, rather than tuning down. If you wish to lower the tension of a head, de-tension the rods below the desired amount, and then tune up to pitch.
Drumhead Terms
Most drumheads have three similar design features regardless of size, construction or intended use;
Flesh Hoop
The aluminum channel that holds the film and comes in direct contact with the counter hoop of the drum. The channel is filled with a durable epoxy to hold the film securely in place.
Collar
The portion of the drumhead between the flesh hoop and the playing surface. The collar is easily identified by the slope at the edge of the playing surface.
Playing Surface
The contact area of the drumhead. This space is where sticks/brushes/alternative sound sources will come in contact with the head. This is also the portion of the head that resonates when struck.

COMBINED SHIPPING:
If
you are ordering from more than one of our listings, note that we can
offer you reduced combined shipping ONLY if you use 'Buy it now' on all
items then request a total from seller BEFORE making payment. You can find the REQUEST TOTAL FROM SELLER button at the top of your basket. We will then send you a combined shipping eBay invoice to pay. This is NOT possible if you have already paid for any of the items you are ordering.
ITALY, RUSSIA AND OTHER PROBLEM DESTINATIONS
Customers
in Italy (and other problem destinations) please note that due to the
high number of orders that vanish and never arrive whilst in the hands
of the various postal services we will NOT send orders over £25
in total value (including postage cost) to problem destinations using
standard untracked airmail. If your items total more than £25.00 please
arrange to pay for tracked and signed shipping so that your order may be
shipped safely and securely. If the tracked shipping option is not
offered in the listing, please use the following listing to pay the
extra cost of this.
Tracked & Signed supplemental charge to Italy, Russia and other problem destinations.
Please
also note that orders sent to Italy and Russia may take MUCH longer
than eBay's estimate to be delivered and, whilst some orders do arrive
within a week or two, many orders sent to these countries are not
delivered for three or perhaps even four weeks! This is entirely outside
our control, as we ship within one working day and once your order is
in the hands of your country's Postal service, there is nothing we can
do to get it to you any faster.
Please DO NOT send
messages with the title "Item not received" as these open complaint
cases against us and damage our seller rating! Instead please use the
general "Other" heading to ask about your delivery if several weeks have
passed.
Lastly, please note that when eBay asks you "Did the
item arrive on or before" their estimated delivery date, it also damages
our seller rating if you answer "No", so bear in mind that we always
ship within two working days, so if you answer "No" because your local
postal service (especially in Italy!) has taken weeks to deliver, you
are punishing us, not them!
Thank you all for your kind
consideration of the above and remember that we will always do our very
best to sort out any problems or questions you may have related to your
order if you contact us using the "Contact Seller" and (if the choice is
given) "Other" ask a question of seller options.
