Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
The EC2 series from EVANS continues the brand's tradition of innovation, active for over 60 years in synthetic drumhead design. Created to meet drummers' practical needs, this range positions itself as a modern solution to quickly achieve a clean and controlled sound, with an ideal balance between attack, sustain, and tuning ease, while maintaining a natural feel.
Target Audience for This Drum/Instrument
The EVANS EC2 Clear 14" is aimed at intermediate to advanced drummers seeking a clear, defined, and controlled tom sound without spending hours taming overtones. It is especially suitable for styles requiring definition and consistency at high volume, such as rock, pop, punk, metal, and live settings. In the studio, it delivers a highly appreciated "ready-to-mix" result that speeds up recording sessions.
Features and Innovations
This clear drumhead is constructed with a double ply (7 mil per ply) to provide better stability, increased durability, and consistent response over time, even during long sessions. Its key feature is the SST ring (Sound Shaping Technology) mounted underneath the head: it acts as a harmonic and sustain control system, with tuning adapted to each size. The result is a sharp attack, a balanced frequency spectrum, and fewer unwanted frequencies, while maintaining a responsive playing feel.
Sound Characteristics
The clear film naturally emphasizes attack and clarity, while retaining strong projection. Thanks to the double ply, the sound gains body and consistency, with a shorter and more controlled sustain than a single ply head, making it easier to achieve a round, controlled tom tone.
The SST ring provides a very effective sonic signature: harmonics are smoothed out, the fundamental note stands out more clearly, and the sound is more consistent from tom to tom. This head is ideal if you're looking for a balanced and controlled sound with less need for additional muffling.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Evans TT14EC2S suitable for a 14-inch tom?
This head has a diameter of 14 inches and is designed for a tom of this size. Its clear finish promotes a sharp attack and pronounced projection.
What is the thickness of the EC2S Clear 14 head?
The construction is based on two 7-mil film plies. This double ply provides increased stability and durability during extended sessions.
How does the SST ring work on this tom head?
The SST (Sound Shaping Technology) ring is mounted underneath the head and sized for a 14-inch diameter. It reduces overtones and controls sustain. The fundamental tone is thus more prominent without the systematic use of muffling.
What sound does a clear 14-inch double ply head offer?
The clear film emphasizes attack, while the two plies add more body to the sound. Sustain remains shorter and controlled, with a responsive feel.
For which styles is the 14-inch EC2S Clear head suitable?
