pretty bummed though you stopped doing the EC1's !!
Me too but I think we may look at reformulating it. Personally, I liked that head and thought it brought another sound color to the table.

A little history of why the logos are now in the middle. When I started at Vic Firth, I noticed the Pro-Mark stripe on the MTV videos. We made the decision to change the VF logo and move it to the middle of the stick so the logo would show up on the videos and TV shows. It worked well and then Pro-Mark changed their logo position. So long story short, you have me to blame for this change. It was not my intent to cause anybody vertigo when the logo passes their eyes.
Forgive me for going off topic a bit, but I decided to try the Remo Vintage A head for my snare, and the bottom ply is detatched/unglued from the main 7mm ply, its kinda flopping a bit. Is this normal? I've never really paid any attention to things like this, just put the heads on and play usually.
Hey Rick,
I usually don't use Evans heads, but I got a new snare and I figure I'll give them a try.
It's an 12 x 6, I really want to be able to get it down low, for a nice deep but open sound. Definitely some nice sustain. I want a low tuning to compliment the natural high pitch of the drum, so I need something that can go down pretty low without losing the sustain or definition.
Thank you!
i was wondering if you still make a 6" evens hydraulic head
I just want to say, that this is awesome that you're doing this. And also that you are helping these people here so much with information. Between that and being the PRESIDENT of such a large company and still posting with more frequency than EvansSpecialist did just really shows a lot about the attitude over at Evans.
I would suggest a coated G2 12". If you want a little more controlled sound try the coated EC2. Rick
Marketing genius if you ask me.
When I was a teen, back when MTV still actually played music video's from bands, I would still there and trying to name the brands of drums, cymbals and such being used by every drummer that came across the screen. I worked in a drum shop after school, so it seemed like a good idea to be up on who used what.
But when it came to stick, there was real no way to tell who used what, except for Promark, because of those distinctive stripes.
Gonna try some new pro-marks soon for a new rock stick...
Currently using Regal Tip John Robinson Signature, but hoping these pro-marks will prove greater results.
Gonna try the Terreon Gully Signature, Steve Ferrone Signature, and the Hickory Intruder.
I'll let you know what I think!
All right thanks, I'll try it.
BTW, if you want you can use the multi-quote button, directly to the right of the quote button, to quote multiply people in one post. Just select it (it will turn red) for whoever you want to quote and then click the normal quote button for one of them, doesn't matter which one.
Rick, if I was on your development team, (and I am available for hire, just say the word) the first project I would do (for $100,000 a year w/ full benefits, company car, and drumheads for life) is to make a complete line of white film drumheads. QUOTE]
Hi Rick,
As far as I can see, there is a market for coated white film drumheads out there. There have been several comments already (like the one above, aside from the joke) and the feeling is that these heads sound better than their coated clear counterparts. I love me some coated G2's, but I would love them even more if they were white film rather than clear. I was doing some research and I think that the film Remo uses for their vintage emperor, which is a coated head over white film, is mylar and not melanex like you referred to before, but I could be wrong. Anyway, don't want to beat a dead horse, but I think you'd have a top seller there.
