Evans MX Black Marching Tenor Drumhead - 8"

Striking Look, Lasting Durability

If you are trying to cut through a wall of brass on the field or lock in a clean, focused sound for indoor ensembles, the Evans 8" MX Black Marching Tenor Drumhead delivers exactly what you need. Built with two plies of 7.5mil black film, this head offers a total thickness of 15mil. That gives you the perfect balance of a bright, punchy attack and a warm, focused tone that projects enough for outdoor playing but doesn't require excessive dampening indoors. The main draw of these tenor heads is, of course, the look. The MX film hides stick marks and cosmetic blemishes better than other black tenor heads, so your tenor line will stay looking sharp much longer.

One of the biggest headaches with small tenor heads, especially the 8" drums, is maintaining tone without choking when the head is cranked up to marching tension. Evans tackles this with their Level 360 Technology collar. The head sits flush on the bearing edge right out of the box, which means you get an instantly wider tuning range, cleaner resonance, and you won't have to spend half of rehearsal fighting just to get a clear, discernible pitch.
