The Evans EQ Drumheads

[jcreamer89]

I admit when I first saw ads for these heads I didn't care. I am a coated ambassador guy, and have been my 3 years of drumming. I always try new heads, but love ambassadors. When I read the review in DRUM for these I was like wow!, I need to try these. Do you guys who have tried these think they would be suitable for blues/rock?

[Tim]

yeah they would be suitable. I didnt like the eq4 that much but that was long ago on a crappy kit that had too much muffle in it anyway. Try the eq3, that head kicks arse.

[spike9908]

eq4 over eq1 is great, though im switching to PS3 over somthing(maybe eq1) for my next change as its cheaper

[Talos]

I went to a music shop and he was selling Remo Coated Ambs for £15 a head!:amaze: EDIT : This was an 8"

Correct me if im wrong but that is outrageous, are Evans as good as Remo?

Ive always been a Remo guy, apart from when I bought an Aqaurian 14" Satin Finish Coated head, but if Evans are better than I might take a look at them.

Evans coating lasts longer...i forget what the downside to them was but someone on here is bound to know...

[HeLLmO]

how are EQ2 kick drum resonant heads? i've been lookin' into them, and i wouldn't mind a tad of feedback about them

their usually a little more expensive. maybe $2-3 per head.

[Red Cow]

Anyone no what the the Evans ec2s(think thats what their called)tom heads sound like.i only have access to evans,i used to only use2ply clear,found the coated to dead,but finding the 2ply just arent fat enough,(just lettin u no i cant tune for **** so dont flam me for sayn that)are these a happy medium?hear their the exact same as Remo pinestripe but like i said i dont have acces.

[spike9908]

pins are deader than coated 2 Ply and ec2 are like pins, so bad.

try coated G1s or remo ambs(you can order online you know)

[Red Cow]

tryd coated G1s but didn like em,wat do you mean "so bad".would you recomend the ec2?

[spike9908]

no, dont get them. i ment, so they are bad.

[Red Cow]

no, dont get them. i ment, so they are bad.Right so you recommend the pinestrips insted,ok thanx:thumb:

[Drum Phil]

If you dont like G1 or G2 then you're about screwed. If G2's are too dead then EC2's are gonna be like flogging a dead horse.

EC2's and pinstripes are practically identical. So no, he doesnt reccomend them

[spike9908]

Right so you recommend the pinestrips insted,ok thanx:thumb:

no retard ec2's are the same as pins., both are deader than G2's which are too dead for you.

and like phil said, if you dont like G1 or G2, your basically screwed and need to learn how to tune.

[Josiah]

I read that same issue of DRUM!


Retards. When a reviewer is talking about DW Exotic drums being "accidently" dropped down a flight of stairs... this is IN THE MAGEZINE?!


DRUM! Blows. The reviews are utter ****!

[Double Bass Jim]

Yeah that magazine is HORRIBLE ^^ I had a year subcirption to it awhile back.. worst BS trash I ever read.

And remember when you go past 1-ply everything is "muffling" never forget that. No matter what words, catch phrases or lingo they may use it's always adding something to muffle the drum. Adding more foam, mylar, rings whatever it's deadening the drum.

[Seafroggys]

i played on this Superstar today at a store, and the toms had felt rings on the udnerside of the heads. Sounded like **** and dead as a pig!
