Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Genera series is designed to deliver a versatile and immediately musical sound. In the transparent version, this resonant head aims for a balance between natural sustain and clarity, to maximize projection and tom definition without sacrificing shell openness.
Intended Users for This Drum/Instrument
This resonant head is intended for drummers from beginner to advanced levels who want a more singing and better-projected tom. It is suitable for rock, pop, funk, as well as live and studio contexts where controlled yet lively sustain is sought, particularly effective with a double-ply batter head.
Features and Innovations
Constructed from a single-ply film, the transparent Genera promotes a clear vibration and expressive response. Used as a resonant head, it optimizes note length and the presence of useful harmonics, while improving overall coherence when paired with a thicker (double-ply) batter head.
Sound Characteristics
The single-ply film provides a more "open" feel: natural attack, generous sustain, and more audible harmonics. The transparency tends to favor a lively response and clear projection in the mid and high frequencies, helping the tom stand out better in a mix without losing the roundness of the resonance.
