collapse expand iconDescription

The EVANS EC2S Frosted drum head offers an edge control ring mounted under two plies of 7-mil film. The EC2S coated drum heads control vibration instead of eliminating it. It also dampens higher overtones, enhances low-end attack and supports a broader tuning range.

EC2 Sound Shaping Technology (SST)
EVANS improved EC2S drum heads contain their 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 EC2Ss contain the ability to balance attack and tone for each size. The result is a drum head 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 EC2S 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 EC2Ss 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 EC2Ss 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 EC2S 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 EC2S SST drum heads are incredible!"
- Preston Heyman, The Wolfmen and U.K. Session Supremo

Finally!

For years I've been around trying different heads looking to find "my" sound. I've been a REMO guy from most of my life but I finally decided to give EVANS a try. I seriously got to say that I made one switch and I'm never going back! I got these SST's about a week ago and I finally got that deep, resonant, warm, and quick sound I've always been looking for! They are very easy to tune and I could immediately tell the difference from the Pinstripes I had on my set. No need for any muffling or anything the muffling ring on the head suprisingly works great. For me, best heads so far... :)

Not terrible, but not great

I've had these heads on my DW Collector's kit for about 6 months now. I find that while they don't sound terrible, they tend to choke alot of the sustain of the drums. To a point where they sound almost dead. I prefer to tune low, so maybe these heads work better at higher tunings but they just don't do it for me personally. Also, the dampening material starts to flake off inside the drum after some time, leaving little black flakes all over the inside of the shell. Doing a head change tomorrow and while the may not effect the drum in an audible way, those loose flakes still bug me and will have to be cleaned out of the shell. Eh, they are still a decent alternative to pinstripes, but not for me.

    I havnt installed this yet, but upon delivery it is notably NOT frosted. It has a translucent coating witht the same acoustic properties however visually a frosted head is opaque white, and this is not.

  • I love this product i'll these for ever.
