Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The Evans EC2 SST heads follow the tradition of double-ply heads designed to deliver a powerful and immediately usable sound, with integrated harmonic control. Within the Evans range, they position themselves as a "plug and play" solution for toms, combining the feel of a 2-ply head with technology to control unwanted frequencies, particularly appreciated in amplified settings or close-miking situations.
Who This Drum/Head Set Is For
This tom head pack is aimed at beginner drummers seeking easier tuning and a cleaner sound, as well as intermediate and advanced players looking for dense, controlled toms that cut through a mix. The EC2 SSTs are very suitable for general contexts, on stage or in the studio, and adapt well to styles like jazz and fusion, whenever controlled resonance and clear attack are desired.
Features and Innovations
The core of the EC2 SST concept is an Edge Control ring made of polyester placed on the inner surface of the head. Rather than eliminating vibrations, it acts at the edge to

Questions frequently asked
What sizes of toms are included in the Evans EC2S 12/13/16 Sanded pack?
The pack includes three drumheads designed for 12, 13, and 16 inch toms.
Are the EC2 SST drumheads suitable for both stage and studio use?
The two-ply construction combines clear attack and controlled resonance. The Edge Control ring reduces overtones at the edge of the drumhead, which helps manage the toms in live sound situations. This design also limits frequencies that need adjustment during close miking.
What sound do Evans EC2S Sanded tom drumheads provide?
The sanded finish and two 7 mm plies produce a dense tone with a pronounced attack and solid low end. The tom's fundamental pitch is clearer thanks to vibration control.
How does the Edge Control ring in the EC2 SST work?
Positioned beneath the two plies, the SST polyester ring acts on vibrations near the edge. It controls overtones without eliminating the natural resonance of the shell.
Are the double-ply drumheads suitable for jazz and fusion styles?
These drumheads are appropriate for general use, both on stage and in the studio, including jazz and fusion contexts. A wide tuning range allows for either rounder tom tones at moderate tension or more articulate sounds with higher tuning.
