Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Three coated single-ply heads sized 12, 13, and 16 for a standard kit. Warm, open tom sound with a softer attack than clear film.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Re-heading a standard 12/13/16 tom setup in one purchase
  • Jazz, blues, and lighter styles wanting warmth and sustain
  • Players who use brushes and need a coated surface

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Kits with 10, 14, or 18-inch toms — sizes will not fit
  • Heavy hitters wanting maximum durability from a thicker head
  • Anyone needing snare or bass drum heads

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

EVANS G1 Coated Drum Head Pack Standard - 12/13/16 construction detail

Detail 01

Coated

The textured coating warms the tone, tames overtones slightly, and lets brushes make a sweep sound.

Detail 02

Single-ply (G1)

One layer of film. More sustain, more sensitivity at low volume, less dent resistance than two-ply.

Detail 03

12/13/16 pack

Covers the two rack toms and floor tom of a standard kit. Check your shell sizes before ordering.

Detail 04

Three-head pack

Cheaper per head than buying singly, and all three age at the same rate for a matched sound.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01Confirm your toms are 12, 13, and 16 inches — measure shells, not hoops
  2. 02Batter heads only. Resonant tom heads are not included
  3. 03Coated finish wears down over time and the tone brightens as it does

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Are the resonant heads included?

No. This pack covers the top batter side of three toms. The bottom resonant heads are separate.

02Will these work on a fusion kit with 10 and 12 toms?

Only partially. A fusion setup is typically 10/12/14, so the 13 and 16 in this pack will not fit.

03How long do coated single-ply heads last?

It depends on how hard you play. Single-ply film dents sooner than two-ply, and the coating wears at the stick contact point first.

04Can I use these for brushes?

Yes. The coating gives brushes the texture they need to produce a sweep. Clear heads do not.
