Evans G1 Coated Drum Head - 20"

The Evans G1 Coated 20" Drum Head is the very definition of classic tone with a modern edge—a beautifully responsive head that blends the pure, open sound of a single-ply design with the warmth and character of a coated finish. Whether you’re using it on a floor tom, a smaller bass drum, or experimenting with creative setups, the G1 Coated delivers a timeless voice that’s full of tone, texture, and control.

Constructed from a single ply of 10mil film, the G1 Coated offers stunning sensitivity across the dynamic spectrum. It sings at low volumes and roars when pushed, responding just as confidently to brushwork as it does to full-stroke stick playing. The coating adds subtle dryness and warmth, reducing unwanted overtones while still letting your drum’s natural tone breathe.

When fitted to a 20" bass drum, the G1 Coated becomes a fantastic choice for players looking for an open, resonant, and vintage-flavoured sound. It gives you room to tune up for that punchy bop kit tone or tune down for a deep, round boom with no flab. It’s equally at home in jazz, folk, acoustic pop, and recording environments where tone purity is king.

With Evans’ Level 360 collar, the head seats perfectly every time—making tuning quick, even, and consistent right up to the edge. At Musicmaker, this is a favourite among drummers who want maximum expression with minimal fuss—it’s the kind of head that just lets your drum sing.
