Kit Upgrade 01:07:2008 This month at JJM Studios sees a complete kit overhaul. We have re-skinned all our Pearl drum kits with Evans EC2’s. The EC2 Clear Batter Drumhead is a 2-ply tom head with an Edge Control ring that isolates and dampens higher overtones, enhances low-end and attack, and enables broader tuning and dynamic ranges. Unlike conventionally damped heads, the EC2 will not choke at higher tuning ranges, or lose its full-bodied presence when tuned low. We now also have Marshall AVT-150 heads and cabs in all rooms.
