A coating treatment adds warmth, focus and depth, allowing for a broad tuning range from low rumble to sharp crack. The G1 Coated is a dynamic and adaptable drum head choice for working drummers.

Single-Ply Film Offers Expressive Sound

The G1 Coated features a single ply of 10-mil film that produces an articulate tone with long sustain and sensitivity. Its thin, responsive film allows drummers to achieve a wide range of sounds, from bright and cutting to deep and resonant, based on tuning and playing technique. The single-ply construction provides an open, natural quality that complements any shell material.

Coating Adds Warmth and Punch

A proprietary coating treatment gives the G1 Coated added warmth, focus and attack. The coating helps dampen and focus the single-ply film, producing a warmer, fuller tone with a slight midrange boost and longer sustain. These tonal enhancements make the G1 Coated suitable for recording applications where a balanced and controlled sound is desired.

With its blend of projection, sensitivity, and tonal focus, the G1 Coated is a versatile choice for drummers in any genre. It produces full, cutting tones for rock, crisp articulation for jazz and sensitivity for orchestral playing. Its 10-mil single-ply film is durable yet responsive, handling the demands of frequent gigging and transport. The G1 Coated is a bold-sounding, adaptable drum head for any musical purpose.
