    Default Evans 360s for one or for all?

    Since I had such great success with the head change out on my Yamaha Live Customs from the stock factory heads to the 360s...





    I'm going to continue the trend by replacing all the batter heads on my Pearl Masters.

    Pictures to follow with start through finish.

    I'm interested to hear your feedback after the change. I have some masters that I was considering trying the chromes on to see if they will really bring out the low-end as advertised.

    SM57's but I don't use them for daily use and will probably not use them during my head change test. Too much influence on one thing or another.

    I really like the Evens 360 heads, big improvement! I got a pair of them on my upper toms. The penis (LOL he was too!) at Guitar Center didn't have the one for the floor tom. Said he could order it and have it soon. I said I could too and stay home and have it dropped off...Still need to do that.

    I have heard of the EC2's but 360 EC2's don't sound right
    Are you sure you meant, you changed from EC2's to 360 ? now that would make more sense. just asking

    All EVANS heads are 360s. The 360 is not a line like the EC2. It is a new collar design that they have incorporated into all of their heads.

    I just learned something today. So that must be the reason why my EC2's are so easy tune and I thought it was my Die Cast Hoops. lol

    I have tried the Evans 360 heads as well and they really do sit well on the bearing edges. I particularly like the EC Reverse Dot as the batter head on my Black Beauty snare (14x5). What a sound! The EC2 are quite good on the toms (I have a set of Ludwig Legacy drums) but, believe it or not, the heads I really like on the toms are the Ludwig WeatherMaster Heavy (coated) heads. Must be something about a Ludwig drum with a Ludwig drum head - at least for the toms. I know a lot of folks think the Ludwig drum heads are crap, but they work really well on my kit. Of course, it all depends on what we each think is the perfect drum sound!

    I've never heard anyone say Ludwig heads are crap. The Weathermaster name has a very good reputation from what I've read.

    Ludwig's 14" snare side head sounds fantastic on my DW Collectors 10 & 6 snare. It's the only snare reso head that I use on that drum.

    So as not to be a total uninformed nimrod I checked further into the heads I'm using. They are 360 Hydraulics. More when I finally get time to install them. What a process just to get to that point. Hooooboy.

    Finally the head change has been completed.

    Me likey very much for visual and audial. hehe

    Before





    After








    I don't think they would be to everyone's liking. What I find is they are a bit subdued with a tiny bit less loudness. They also have very short sustain. I don't have to use any dampening with them. I had Moon Gels on the floor toms and tone rings on mounted toms.

    I even changed out the snare head and was going to put a "hazy" on the snare side but after tuning up the snare I think I'm going to leave it. It sounds fantastic.

    All the heads look pretty damn cool, too.

    I'm very pleased with the end result.

    Bonus: These heads are so easy and quick to tune up, it's almost boring.
