The 20-inch MX2 Black is typically the highest-pitched drum in a marching bass line, and it needs to cut through with clarity and definition. Two plies of 7.5mil film deliver a focused, bright tone with enough body to blend with the rest of the section while still maintaining its own distinct voice in split parts and unison passages.

Evans' felt arc damping system comes included, letting you fine-tune how much sustain and ring the head produces. For indoor drumline work where clarity matters most, a bit more felt dampening sharpens each note. For outdoor shows, pulling back on the dampening lets the drum project further. The black finish keeps the visual presentation consistent across your bass line. A reliable, tunable head built for the demands of competitive and scholastic marching.
