The Evans EC2 Edge Control Coated Snare Drum Head with Reverse Dot is a futuristic innovation in drumhead and overall drum sound.
EC Snare heads combine two-plies of film (6.5mil external, 10mil internal) with Evan's Edge Control technology to produce a controlled sound while retaining resonance and sensitivity at all tuning and dynamic ranges. The addition of a specially designed patch on the Reverse Dot model lends extra durability, focus, and attack in the center.
At its heart, says Evans Product Manager Michael Robinson, the EC head is not damped. It's treated around the edges to tweak the overtones and response. For snare drums it's particularly effective and yields a pre-EQ'd sound that will please both player and sound engineer.
