Evans

Heads that are warm, dense, focused, and with a clear attack in all tuning and dynamic ranges.

The Evans EC2 SST Clear Batter Drumhead offers an edge control ring mounted under 2 plies of 7-mil film. The EC2 drumhead controls vibration instead of eliminating it. It also dampens higher overtones, enhances low-end attack, and supports a broader tuning range.

Evans EC2 Sound Shaping Technology (SST)

Evans improved EC2 drumheads contain Evans' exclusive 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 vans EC2 with SST will make your toms sound better than you ever thought possible.

Here is what the pros are saying:

"So I just gave the new EC2s a test run overseas. They sound great!! I used them on a Mapex Orion kit. The new muffling rings are nice! After pounding these for a few shows they stayed focused."
—Chris Pennie

"The new EC2s are so incredible! The attack and tone has somehow been magnified, when I'm playing these heads the feel, definition and tone that I'm able to draw out of them is amazing and is so sweet to the ear."
—Camille Grainer

"The new Evans EC2 SSTs are amazing. My toms sound so warm and lush. These drum heads bring out the true sound of the drums."
—Dean Butterworth

"The best just got better – the new EC2 SST drumheads are incredible!"
—Preston Heyman – The Wolfmen and U.K. Session Supremo

EC2 SST = Greatness!

| Review By: GregO | 2 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

These heads have more attack than the coated G2's I was using before. Which is better for the music that I play.

Quality:

High quality all the way.

Value:

There a little expensive, but well worn it.

Overall:

Overall, fantastic heads. No muffling required. Even my snare's vibrate less now, because of the controlled sustain. I'll only use EC2 SST tom heads from now on. Get your own, you won't be disappointed!

Amazing, thus far.

| Review By: william olsen | 3 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

First of all, my current drumhead setup is G2 coated batter side, and G1 clear resononant side. I could never find a sweet sound that I felt comfortable with, when it came to my 12" tom.

 

I would tune my G2's for hours, and hours on end. Sometimes resulting in needing Moongel just to get the sound I wanted. When I got this head I spent maybe 5-10 minutes tuning it before my jaw dropped after finding a sound that was perfect for me. The 12" alone inspired me to buy an alternate set.

Quality:

Owned the 12" for a little over a month now, so I can't make an educated statement of the overall durability of the drumhead, but so far this thing is amazing. It takes little to no effort to tune, the dampening ring on these drum heads sounds way better than putting moongel on your drum heads.

Value:

Not the cheapest, but most definetely worth giving them a try.

Overall:

Overall, I love this drumhead. Made my 12" tom sound purely amazing. I'm not saying go out and buy the entire set blindly without knowing what they sound like, but I would go as far as to say every drummer should at least give one of these EC2 drumheads a try. For only 10-20$ it maybe exactly what you're looking for to change the way your drums sound.

very nice/ definate upgrade

| Review By: Peter Bartolomeo | 5 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

Replaced the factory Ludwig heads (which sounded good but would not last long) on an Epic 6 piece power kit.

The EC2's are a  good upgrade. They sound great and look good. I am suprised that they have, what appears to be, oil between the plies. The specs listed them as a 2 ply head but I was under the impression that the hydraulics were the oil heads. Anyway, they are very bright and loud for a 2 ply. They are on my studio kit and I had to pick up some moon gels to dampen them. No complaints though. I'll have to wait and see how long they hold up to 2 rehearsals per week and 2 gigs per month of being beat on with Vic Firth Metal sticks.

Awesome Heads

Overall:

I Love these heads, period. I don't write many reviews but had to say that these are great versatile, awesome sounding heads. I put a pair on my 13" and 16" toms (batter side) and it totally opened up the drum's tone and gave them both a punchy warm feel. The 2-ply contruction looks great, very sharp looking heads.  I play a newer simple maple shell rock kit and I am very satisfied with the sound and projection of these heads on them. I'll definitely be buying these again when they wear out.

WOW!! THEY ROCK

Overall:

After trying the EC 2 clear batter heads on my toms, I feel compelled to share my satisfaction.

I have tried most others: most all of remo's, aquarian's performance 2s, with dot and without, attack's and others, and they are also top quality, but Evans EC 2 clear heads are the most resonant and loud (some may want to mute them slightly), and satisfactory to my preferences. I am one happy player. Also, the Evans EC 2 coated are really awesome, the coating does mute them a little more than the clear ones so no extra muting, mylar rings, etc. is required, I think I like the clear EC 2s a little better, but both are the best I have tried. They work great on my 2001 Tama Rock Stars and my 2005 Yamaha Tour Customs.  They seem to be pretty durable and long wearing too. Very pleased.
