DescriptionThe EarthTone ETH14 14” Calfskin Drum Head brings warmth, depth, and vintage character back to your drum kit. Made from genuine calfskin, this head delivers a full, organic tone that many players associate with classic recordings and traditional kits. Because calfskin responds differently than synthetic heads, it adds natural richness and subtle complexity to every stroke.Materials and ConstructionThis drum head is crafted from real calfskin and specially tanned and treated to improve stability. As a result, it reduces the tuning fluctuations often associated with vintage calfskin heads. The thickness varies naturally between 11–18 mils, which contributes to its unique feel and tonal depth. In addition, the head mounts in the same way as a Mylar head, so installation remains straightforward and familiar.Performance and Use CaseThe ETH14 produces a warm, round sound with excellent body, making it especially appealing for recording work. Brushes interact beautifully with the textured surface, adding a soft, expressive layer that many players enjoy. After installation, the head typically settles within 2 to 3 days, allowing tuning to stabilise naturally. Therefore, it suits drummers restoring vintage kits or anyone seeking a more traditional tone from modern setups.Key FeaturesGenuine calfskin drum head for warm, full toneSpecially treated to reduce tuning fluctuationNatural thickness range of 11–18 milsMounts like a Mylar head for easy installationExcellent response with brushes and sticksHighly regarded for recording applicationsSpecificationsFits: 14″Inside Diameter: 14 1/8″Thickness: 11–18 milsMore InformationEarthTone drumheads are designed to revive classic drum sounds while remaining practical for modern players.
