The DNA CLEAR series belongs to the family of single-ply clear heads, a standard praised for its responsiveness and natural projection. It aims for versatility while claiming a "vintage" character that highlights the tom's midrange and low frequencies.
Designed for beginner, intermediate, and expert drummers seeking a lively and expressive tom. It is particularly suitable for jazz, fusion, and rock styles but remains neutral enough for general applications, including rehearsal, recording, and live performance.
Its single-ply 10 mil film maximizes touch sensitivity and dynamics, with a quick response to both light taps and stronger strikes. The aluminum hoop ensures reliable tuning stability, even tension around the circumference, and enhanced durability. The transparent finish facilitates visual control of the bearing edge and allows fine harmonic tuning. As a resonant head, it extends the note and improves kit coherence; as a batter head, it adds definition and a clear attack.
The 10 mil single ply, naturally light and responsive, delivers an open sound with generous sustain. The transparency favors attack and projection, while the "vintage" voicing emphasizes warm and musical harmonics without harshness. On a 16-inch tom, it provides a solid foundation in the mid/lows, a precise attack, and sufficiently controlled resonance to remain mix-friendly. Used as a resonant head, it enhances breadth and note length; as a batter head, it brings definition and presence.
