Evans E16ER2 - E-Ring16" Filler Pack (2" Wide)

Historical context and positioning within the range

For over 60 years, EVANS has been developing solutions tailored to the concrete needs of drummers, from the first synthetic drumhead to ranges that have become benchmarks such as EMAD, Hydraulic, and UV1. In this spirit, the E-Ring is positioned as a sound control accessory, designed with the same demands for consistency and quality, and manufactured in the United States.

Who this drum/instrument is for

The EVANS E-Ring is aimed at all drummers, from beginners to experts, who want a cleaner sound that is easier to place in a mix. Particularly useful in the studio, rehearsals, and on stage, it suits styles where shorter, more controlled toms are desired (pop, rock, funk, gospel, variety), while remaining relevant in modern jazz when taming an overly reverberant room.

Features and innovations

Placed directly on the drumhead, the E-Ring acts as an external harmonic dampener: it limits unwanted frequencies, evens out the attack, and stabilizes the perception of the fundamental pitch. EVANS applies the same design rigor to its accessories, with demanding quality controls and a philosophy compatible with Level 360 technology, designed for more consistent setups and tuning.

Sound characteristics

On a 16-inch tom, the E-Ring reduces resonance length and channels the high harmonics that can make the sound "floaty." The result is a clearer low end, a sharper attack, and shorter sustain-ideal for achieving a balanced sound without resorting to tape, gel, or permanent solutions.
