Evans TT12G2 - GENERA G2 CLEAR 12

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The clear G2 is one of EVANS' essential references, a brand that has been innovating for over 60 years in the design of synthetic drumheads. After making history with the first synthetic drumhead and iconic series, EVANS developed the G2 as a simple and effective solution: a double ply designed to withstand, remain stable in tuning, and produce a full sound. Within the range, the G2 is often chosen as an all-purpose batter head: more robust and controlled than a single ply, while maintaining a natural and musical sustain.

Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

The EVANS G2 Clear 12 drumhead is aimed at both intermediate drummers who want to stabilize their kit and professionals seeking a consistent head that is easy to tune and capable of handling heavy strikes. Its versatility makes it comfortable in rock, pop, funk, fusion, metal, or variety styles, whether in rehearsal or studio, with excellent durability when dynamics increase.

Features and Innovations

Constructed with a double ply film, the G2 combines durability, stability, and a very consistent response across the entire surface. The double ply helps smooth certain harmonics while maintaining projection, which facilitates achieving a clean and even tuning, particularly useful on toms. The Level 360 technology improves contact with the shell for easier setup and better tension consistency, resulting in faster and more reproducible tuning.

Sound Characteristics

On a shell, the drumhead plays a major role: a double ply construction tends to produce a sound that is more full and dense than a single ply, with a clear attack and controlled sustain. The clear G2 emphasizes an "open but controlled" response: enough resonance to make the toms sing, while adding body and better resistance to strong hits.

Depending on the tuning, you can easily achieve either a deep and round sound (lower tuning, ideal for bass toms) or a more present and articulated attack (higher tuning, practical for precise toms in live contexts). The clear finish maintains a direct feel and natural projection, with excellent clarity in a mix.
