EvansDrum Heads - EC2S Clear Tom Drumhead, 14 Inch

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!

This small Tom head sounds great! It was easy to tune into the right pitch. It not that thick and it’s really beautiful with its clearness and white stripes. It’s pretty durable and that’s good to protect my drums because I am a heavy hitter. This product is very versatile.

These heads have finally given me the sound I want with no muffling needed! I have been muffling in the past because I got my drums tuned great with a 1 ply reso head, but there was so much sustain that was a little overbearing; especially since the drums also had mics on them. So I tried going to two ply with the coated EC2s and it is exactly what I needed! I still get the warm tone, but the sound is focused with a sustain that dissipates at a perfect speed.I will say this though, if your using drums with no mics in any decent sized venue, your going to need to go with 1 ply reso heads, however, if you do have mics for your drums 2 ply is the way to go.I have Evans G2 Clears on the batter, and the Evans EC2 Coated for my reso. This combo works best for Worship, Funk, Rock, Country, as well as Indie.

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.

These EC2 heads are great. I’m by a fan if all Evans heads, but if you need a tighter sound, without ring, put away the moongels and use these heads with tone control. Versatile too if you want it wide open, it can be tuned wide open. Have these on my Gretsch Catalina club kit, 12,14,16. Thin mahogany shells, a great , modern sound with punch

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!

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.

Excelentes de muy buena calidad
