Evans G12 White Coated Head - 16"
Evans G12 White Coated Head - 16"
The Evans G12 White Coated Drum Head – 16" is a superb choice for drummers who want a tom head with extra punch, durability, and warmth while still retaining the lively response of a single-ply design. Sitting comfortably between traditional thin single-ply heads and heavier multi-ply options, the G12 series has become a favourite for players who need versatility and reliability across rehearsals, recordings, and demanding live performances.
Constructed from a single ply of 12mil film, the 16" G12 produces a deep, full-bodied tone with strong attack and controlled sustain. On larger floor toms especially, it delivers a rich low-end presence and focused resonance that feels powerful without becoming overly boomy or uncontrolled. You still get plenty of openness and dynamic sensitivity, just with a little more authority and durability than standard thinner heads.
The coated white finish adds warmth and smoothness to the drum’s response while enhancing stick definition and articulation. Whether tuned low for thunderous rock and indie grooves or tightened slightly for punchier, more articulate tones, the G12 adapts beautifully across multiple styles and tuning ranges.
One of the standout qualities of the G12 range is its ability to naturally tame excessive overtones without choking the drum’s personality. The result is a focused, musical floor tom sound that sits exceptionally well in both live mixes and studio recordings.
At Musicmaker, the Evans G12 remains a go-to recommendation for drummers who want a durable coated head with modern punch, classic warmth, and excellent tuning flexibility.
