Evans TT13RBG Resonant Black 1-Ply 13" Drumhead | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Evans TT13RBG is a 13" resonant drumhead from the Resonant Black series — a single ply of 7.5-mil black film that delivers quick response and excellent projection as a resonant side head on tom drums. Alongside the Resonant Glass series, the Resonant Black is the thinnest resonant head in Evans's lineup, making it one of the most responsive and acoustically open resonant heads available. The black finish provides a visually clean, classic aesthetic that suits a wide range of kit aesthetics and stage presentations.
Product Overview
Resonant heads play a critical but often overlooked role in a drum's overall tone and sustain character — the resonant side head vibrates in sympathetic response to the batter head's strike, contributing to the drum's sustain, pitch, and overall tonal complexity in ways that directly affect how the drum sounds in a live and recording context. Thinner resonant heads respond more freely and openly to batter head vibration, contributing more sustain, more overtone complexity, and a more open, resonant sound than thicker heads that suppress the resonant side's response. At 7.5 mil single-ply construction, the Resonant Black is engineered for maximum resonant head responsiveness — vibrating easily and freely to allow the drum's full tonal character to develop.
The 7.5-mil single-ply film is the thinnest construction available in Evans's resonant head lineup, tying with the Resonant Glass series as the most acoustically open resonant head Evans produces. This thin construction is specifically suited to drummers who want maximum sustain and resonance from their toms, open and expressive tonal character in a live context, or the kind of resonant response that captures well in studio recording. The black film provides the same tonal characteristics as a clear resonant head of equivalent construction while offering a clean, dark aesthetic that many drummers prefer visually — particularly on kits with black hardware, dark finished shells, or stage presentations where the resonant heads are visible.
Ideal For
- Drummers who want maximum resonant head responsiveness and tonal openness from a thin, single-ply construction
- Players building or upgrading a tom setup who want a black resonant head for aesthetic consistency or visual preference
- Studio recording drummers who want the most acoustically responsive resonant head for capturing full tom sustain and overtone character
- Drummers replacing a worn resonant head on a 13" tom who want Evans's thinnest, most responsive resonant option
- Drummers in Idaho Falls looking for a quality single-ply black resonant head at an accessible price
