About this item

  • 20" drum head for resonant or batter use
  • Calftone is a synthetic alternative that embodies the look and sound of traditional calfskin
  • Made using a blend of unique materials to produce warm, full, and rich tones
  • A fixed internal overtone control focuses the tonal response of the drum
  • Exclusive Level 360 Technology collar design ensures proper contact between drum head and drum shell


Calftone drumheads are a synthetic alternative to traditional calfskin. These heads embody the calfskin look and sound but with the consistency, fit, and tuning range made standard with Level 360 Technology. Calftone is made using a blend of unique materials to produce warm, full, and rich tones. These heads bring out the best of a vintage kit and evoke a classic appearance and sound from modern drums.

To make matters worse I had applied a custom graphic on the head before I attempted to install it on the drum….now the money spent on the graphic is also wasted.

I swapped out a VERY old worn out coated head for this on my 1965 Ludwig Super Classic bass drum and BOOM! What a great tone! Sounds really good with a ported EQ3 front head and EQ pillow or nothing inside.

I use this as a versatile head on a 14x24. It has a nice soft, round sound when played softly and then speaks/cracks nicely when you lean in a little. The sound control is subtle and I wound up adding a small blanket in the shell but there's still enough roundness for riding the fours in swing drumming. One star off for slow shipping.

Looks great! Cheaper than the Fiberskyn, basically the same, as far as I can tell. I cut the port hole with the Gibraltar port hole cutter (the Calftone heads are laminated with at least two layers, so cutting is slightly challenging, but doable). I'm not a drummer, this is my studio kit. I have an Aquarian Modern Vintage head with the glued-in felt strip on the batter head. Kick sounds great! I haven't had it for too long, and haven't played the kick a ton in that timeframe, so can't really speak to durability.

Works great on my Ludwig club date bass drum. 360 collar is cool.Makes the drum go boom. What else can you want ?

It tamed the ring out of my Gretsch Catalina 18" bass drum, as a resonant head.Finger tight, plus 1/4 turn of the lugs did it.Fat Thud.Bought tom batters of the same head, and they were a struggle.Ringy, hard to tune, hard sounding tone, I could never get them to a usable place.Tried differing resos, and tried the Calftones as resos, under pinstripes.Nothing worked.I moved on to Evans Hydraulic Glass.All is well.

Great. Amazing tone, and decent attack. If i wanted more I could use the patch they sent. Looks great too.
