Evans improved EC2 drumheads contain Evans' exclusive and patented Sound Shaping Technology (SST). Sound Shaping Technology allows the drumheads to be fully optimized for each individual size by varying the thickness and density of the damping material, ensuring greatly improved performance and tone across the entire kit. Unlike other heads that lack SST, Evans EC2s contain the ability to balance attack and tone for each size. The result is a drumhead series fine-tuned for attack, tone, length of sustain, and ease of tuning. Packed with a more balanced and pre-EQ'd sound across the full kit, the Evans EC2 with SST will make your toms sound better than you ever thought possible. Evans 16" clear EC2 two-ply drum head with Edge Control technology provides a pre-EQ'd sound and a variable damping technique that insures optimized performance for each individually sized drum head.Evans EC2 series features two plies of 7mil film with optimized attack, tone, length of sustain and ease of tuning for each size head. The Sound Shaping Technology (SST) Edge Control ring mounted on the underside delivers an extremely well balanced and pre-EQ'd sound across the full kit by varying the size of the ring for each different head size.For over 40 years, Evans has been a pioneer of drum head manufacturing and design. Known for innovative designs such as EMAD, EC2S, and the Hydraulic series, Evans drum heads are made in the USA in a state of the art manufacturing facility. Acquired in 1996 by D Addario and Company, the global leader in musical instrument accessories, the Evans brand is synonymous with quality and consistency.

As I expected, this head worked perfectly. The store that sold this kit to me kinda mislead me on shell sizes and head quality so I wanted a full set. Unfortunately the second rack tom ended up being a 13 and not a 12. So here we are, and I'm loving the sound. Short sustain and punchy.Sad about the blemishes. It appears to be on the top ply, but I can't find a way to make it fade. It's as if part of the ply didn't get coated like the rest. Not a big deal, but it is disappointing since the rest of the heads are perfect.

I was expecting These toms to sound great (cause duh, it's Evans), and boy was I right! They are super punchy and tight and they look great on the kit too. So if you're a metal/rock drummer looking for some new tom heads, these will meet all your needs!

Best heads on the planet hands down the G2 are great but the EC2 consistency and overall strength are better and the sound is also IMHO are better sounding. They give you the wet fatty yet controlled sound we are all looking for. These are my go to Tom heads all the time!

E' la prima volta che la provo. Suono molto pulito, chiaro, con attacco definito e risonanze ben controllate dalle fasce circolari. Forse, anche per l'accordatura che ho fatto, come sonorità la trovo estremamente simile a quella dei tom di Phil Collins o Simon Philips... aperte, profonde, un po' "tribali" come piacciono a me. Comprerò anche tutte le altre misure.

Great full sound, easy to tune. Nice fat, tone. A bit darker with the 2 layers, they still have nice responsive bounce. The front gives them a nice grip when hit.

I always dug Remo, but I've changed my mind since I tried these guys at a lower price! I dig these heads!

These heads tune up nicely and don’t require much additional dampening. They’re also very durable, as I find myself replacing them long before they ever break. They work great on every tom I’ve installed them in. Make your cheap drum set sound great or make your high end custom kit sound even better. These heads always seat well and stay in tune nicely. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

I've been playing Tama, Pearl, Ludwig, and DW sets for over 25 years taking lessons as a young kid, was center snare at a university, did jazz in university having the opportunity to share the stage with jazz legends such as Maynard Ferguson, and performing on big stages as an opener for bands such as Blood Sweat and Tears, Gin Blossoms, Poison, etc. Hands down, with the right shells, these heads have an attack and durability perfectly suited for rock and pop music. I play strong lifting the sound out of the head and it's hard to dimple these. I think it would take some crazy out of control thrasher guy to break/dimple these. I'd say I replace my heads on avg every two years. These heads sound absolutely fabulous in the recording studio using a neve/api style plugin or console. Put on head phones and listen to Paramore's "That's What You Get" and that's the sound I get from these heads. I get a strong attack with sustained note at first and then the decay rolls off into the sunset. 14" & 16" toms with these heads are just amazing. I use these EC2s on both the batter and resonant sides for rock and pop. For more mellow gigs I will alternate to a coated Evans head but coated show signs of use much faster showing dirt, grime, marks, head dust, etc. I will do the coated heavy dry Evans with the little air holes around the edge on the snare to tame overtones. These EC2 heads are easy to tune and in my opinion Evans exceeds Remo heads in style, innovation, quality, and durability. As a kid growing up it was all about Remo but they have lost in the past decade not spending enough in R&D in my opinion to stay #1. Nobody will second guess you using these heads and if they do they need to be educated. Enjoy and drum on!

Ich habe die EC2S Serie von Evans bereits auf den Toms meines Mapex Saturn installiert und bin hinsichtlich der Stimmbarkeit und des Sounds begeistert. Dank der integrierten Dämpfung unterhalb des Fells ist kein aufwendiges tunen nötig. Als Warehousedeal habe ich mir ein weiteres Fell geholt, eigentlich als Ersatz. (Hier ein Lob an amazon: Ich habe weniger als die Hälfte des Neupreises bezahlt und das Fell war unbespielt, danke dafür.)Nur zum Test habe ich meine 14''- Snare (Mapex Black Panther Zebra Wood) mit dem Fell bezogen und war völlig baff. Egal ob hoch oder tief gestimmt, klingt diese phänomenal. Als Resonanzfell dient ein Evans Hazy 300, Snareteppich original von Mapex. Daher lasse ich meine Hauptsnare erst einmal in dieser Konstellation. Bezüglich der höheren Fellpannung wird sich im Laufe der Zeit herausstellen, ob das Fell gegenüber expliziten Fellen für Snares im Nachteil ist.
