From the Manufacturer
EC Resonant Series Overview
Evans EC Resonant series features a single ply of 10mil film and is designed with the ability to correct tuning inconsistencies while offering a more centered pitch, increased resonance and dynamic range.
The revolutionary Evans Level 360 drum head technology is found in the proprietary collar design that extends the level playing surface of the drum head 360 degrees around the drum. This vertically enhanced collar design ensures balanced contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell, resulting in:
• Ease of fit
• Ease of tuning
• Extended tuning range and quality of sound
Available on all Evans 6 – 20 inch Batter and Resonant Drum set, Snare Side, Concert and Marching Tenor heads. Evans Level 360 technology solves the age-old dilemma of traditional synthetic heads consistently not fitting a variety of drum shells without using force that chokes the responsiveness of the head and the drum’s performance.
The Level 360 Blueprint
The benefits provided by Evans Level 360 technology stem from a groundbreaking collar design:
Steeper Collar:Extends the level plane of the drum head to ensure balanced contact with the critical bearing edge of the drum shell. Roll-over Hoop:
Provides strength and stability where the film meets the hoop, for greater durability without diminishing performance. Balanced Contact:
For ease of tuning and enhanced quality of sound. Greater Tonal Range:
Wider tuning options result in higher levels of responsivness and resonance, giving you the confidence to tune your drums high or low.

I purchased these to replace my very old bottom heads on all 4 of my toms. One size was out, so I only changed 3, but it left a good comparison of old to new.The new heads were easy to tune - I basically hand tightened the lugs after seating the head, then brought to a consistent tightness at all lugs. I spent most of my time tuning the new batter heads (I bought Evans Onyx coated two-ply heads) to my preferred sound. These are a bit dryer with a deeper tone I prefer.The three toms I replaced all sound great and a big improvement over the one I didn't change. I changed the batter head on all 4, so I know the resonant head is making a difference.I am very happy with the product.These heads are thin, as most resonant heads are - so be careful not to dent or damage them.

Many of us use as resonant drumheads some batter, maybe even the old ones. Please stop doing it, use proper resonant heads instead. These are the best resonant heads I have used ever: they are thick and have also another layer ring, which doesn’t really muffle them, but keep overtones low and short. These heads really help to keep focused our toms’ sound and they are also a big help to better tune our drums. Also, they are very resistant. Buy these, they worth it.

I have used the Evans G1 coated as my batter head for years, with Evans clear G1 as mt resonant head. They provided a great sound, the sound I was looking for, but I had to tune often. I switched to the Evans EC2 clear and could not be happier with the sound texture I'm getting. I play Maple 9 ply Keller shells, and the sound I get from the Evans EC2 is full, punchy, sensitive, responsive, resonant and satisfying. All this with excellent tuning stability. I also use Evans EC2 clear resonant heads which I love equally as much as the EC2 batter heads. I would highly recommend this head combination for any type of drum shell. Plus they are super easy to tune.

We just finished installing one of these resonant heads on our DW 18" floor tom to try and tame the sustain. This head sounds good and it definitely cut the ringing tone from this cannon of a floor tom.The head was easy to install and bring up to pitch. Immediately I could tell the tone was improved.An interesting way to predict the heads performance is to hold it up on your finger (not installed on a drum) and just tap the center of the head gently with your finger. Comparing the original DW-Remo to this Evans EC-18 was very revealing, the DW-Remo was very boomy with lots of sustain while the Evans-EC did not boom or sustain.Our DW kit just lives in our recording studio, it is not moved around for gigs. This Evans-EC head helps the floor tom speak authoritatively without too much low frequency sustain.Good music to you!

Only play Evans EC drumheads exclusively and turned to Amazon.com when I couldn't find the 16" EC resonant head on the online music equipment sites. Price was fine, but the method in which this retailer ships leaves a lot to be desired. It was sent through the regular mail. The USPS mis-routed this head to another part of Atlanta, which delayed my receipt of it by five days. Imagine my surprise when I finally received it and saw that the company I bought it from did not even box it up! They just stuck a label on the flimsy cardboard packaging that the drumheads are wrapped in! This packaging definitely showed that it took a lot of abuse on its way to me (thank you USPS), but fortunately, the head was fine. Would recommend to the company that sells these that they charge a little bit more for shipping, package it correctly, and ship it via UPS or FEDEX so that the buyer can track it.
