Detail 01
Frosted surface
Textured coating gives brushes something to grab, takes some high end off the attack, and shortens sustain slightly.

EvansEC2S Frosted Drum Head 14 in.
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single 14-inch frosted batter head for a tom. For a drummer who wants a warmer, drier tom than a clear head gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing one 14-inch tom head that has gone dead
- Players who want tom decay pulled in and controlled
- Anyone who uses brushes on toms
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Re-heading a whole kit — buy a size pack instead
- Drummers chasing maximum brightness and ring
- The bottom resonant side — this is a batter head
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
14 in.
Sizing is shell diameter. Any 14-inch tom takes it, rack or floor.
Detail 03
Batter head
Top, struck side only. The resonant head underneath is bought separately.
Detail 04
EC2 series
More built-in control than an open head, so overtones settle faster and tuning range is narrower and easier to hit.
Detail 05
Single head
About $27 for one, against roughly $19 per head buying a three-piece pack.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Just the head — no resonant head, tuning key, or muffling included
- 02Coating wears where the stick lands; brush texture goes first
- 03Measure the shell itself; hoop diameter reads larger than head size
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What is the difference between this and the clear version?
Same 14-inch head with a frosted coating. Slightly warmer and drier than clear, less ring, and it works with brushes. Clear is brighter with more sustain.
02Can I use brushes on it?
Yes. The frosted texture is what makes brush sweeps audible. A clear head gives you almost nothing.
03Is one head enough for my kit?
One head covers one 14-inch tom. If you have a 10, 12, and 14, a three-piece pack is cheaper per head.
04How long does the coating last?
It wears fastest in the stick strike zone. The head still plays once the coating thins, but brush response drops off first.
