EvansEC Resonant Drum Head, 13 Inch

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.

This head was totally transparent ,which is what I wanted in a relationship...

Makes a nice sound coming off my 10" tom. I plan on putting them on all toms next replacement.

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!

My Spaun kit has dbl 45 degree bear edges. With g1 or g2 reso's the overtones the drums produce is just too much. Been using EC2 resos and EC2 batter heads for over a decade. They quiet the unwanted overtones without choking my drums. Engineers love the sound when I'm recording because they don't have to do a lot of compression when mixing. I'll never use any other resonant heads on my kits. Period. They're that good.

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.

I was skeptical of trying these heads. I was never much a fan of the Remo Pinstripes, but I'm pleasantly surprised by how punchy and resonant these heads are. I usually prefer a traditional coated single ply head like a Remo Ambassador, but I have a set of drums that just don't sound very good with an Ambassador. They tend to "honk" rather than give me the pure resonant tone I'm looking for. These EC Reso heads sound great on my drums.

The heads look good. But they are a birthday present for ab7 year old. We will see how sturdy they are.

Sounds lovely on my 10, 12 & 14 inch toms

Good sound easy to tune good reliable name my go too heads for the snare

good item works well

Very happy

this is just the resonant head, what would matter more would be the batter head. i used this with evans ec2 clear batter,they sound great.
