Home » Evans EC2 Drum Heads

The Evans EC2 is a two-ply clear drum head featuring Evans' Sound Shaping Technology (SST) — a patented collar design that controls the contact point between the head and the drum shell, reducing unwanted overtones and producing a focused, studio-ready tone straight out of the box. The EC2 is one of Evans' most popular tom batter heads, widely used in live and recording contexts where a controlled, punchy sound is needed without additional dampening.

Available in individual sizes from 10" through 12", 13", 14", 16", and 18", plus matched tom packs in 10"/12"/14", 10"/12"/16", and 12"/13"/16" configurations.

Evans EC2 Drum Heads UK - Into Music Store, Horncastle, Lincolnshire

The Evans EC2 is one of the most widely used tom batter heads in professional drumming. The key innovation is the SST (Sound Shaping Technology) collar — a patented design that controls the contact point between the head and the drum shell. By managing this contact point, the SST collar reduces the high-frequency overtones that can make drums sound ringy or uncontrolled, producing a more focused, musical tone without the need for tape, dampening rings, or gel pads.

The EC2 is a two-ply clear head, which gives it a warmer, more controlled character than a single-ply head while retaining good attack and projection. It is particularly popular for studio recording, where a clean, focused tom sound is essential, but it performs equally well in live contexts where a controlled, punchy tone is preferred.

Individual heads are priced from around £24 upwards, with tom packs from around £61 upwards. At Into Music Store in Horncastle, Lincolnshire, we stock the full Evans EC2 range online across the UK with UK next day delivery available. Call us on 01507 526517 or shop online at intomusicstore.com.
