Description

Punch, Projection, and Visual Power

With their unique dual-ply construction, EVANS Black Chrome heads provide a quick, controlled attack and an enhanced low-end that brings out the richness in smaller toms and snare drums. The optically clear top layer isn’t just for show—it contributes to the head’s controlled tone and bright initial attack, while the thicker black bottom ply provides warmth, depth, and extended durability.

The result is a drumhead that delivers tight, aggressive sound with minimal sustain—perfect for players who need their drums to speak fast and hit hard. Plus, the mirrored finish ensures your kit looks as bold as it sounds under stage lights.

Why Choose the EVANS Black Chrome?

If you’re after a head that offers quick response, bold tone, and standout visuals, the Black Chrome delivers. It’s the ideal choice for drummers who want their kit to sound massive and look even bigger—without sacrificing control or durability.

Heavy tone. Sharp looks. The EVANS Black Chrome Drum Head makes your drums roar and shine.
