The Evans EQ3 Frosted Bass Drum Head, 18” has one goal – survive heavy hitters and cut through live. To make it through a heavy show, the head is made from 2-ply 6.5mil film, increasing its ability to withstand strong strokes, whilst also adding a prominent smack on the attack. 6.5mil film also lends itself to opening up more, making this more versatile than other double-ply batter heads. This construction helps it keep its tuning for longer. To create a controlled low-end rumble and composed mid-range, the EQ3 employs an internal overtone control ring which also slightly shortens the sustain – think rounded thump, with plenty of body. Level 360 Technology also makes this easy to tune in an extended range thanks to an elevated collar. Frosted finish adds more low-end and creates a warmer attack than its clear counterpart.
