Evans EQ Double Pedal Patch - Clear Plastic

Evans EQPC2 Clear Plastic Double Bass Drum Pedal Patch (Pair): Enhanced Attack and Head Protection

The Evans EQPC2 is a clear, non-slip plastic patch specifically designed for bass drumheads when using a double bass drum pedal. It serves a dual purpose: significantly increasing the attack (or "click") of the bass drum sound and providing crucial protection to extend the life of your bass drumhead against the constant impact of beaters.

Key Features for Durability and Sonic Enhancement

The EQPC2 patch is engineered with specific attributes to deliver reliable protection and a consistent sound:

• Clear Plastic Construction: Made from a clear, durable plastic (often described as nylon or polyester), these patches are designed to withstand repeated impact from bass drum beaters without cracking or peeling easily. The clear material is often preferred for its subtle visual presence on the drumhead.

• Double Pedal Version: This patch is specifically sized and shaped for double bass drum pedal setups, ensuring both beaters strike the patch for consistent protection and sound. (Evans also offers single pedal versions, like EQPC1).

• Enhances Beater Attack/Click: A primary sonic benefit of the EQPC2 is its ability to increase the "click" or attack of the bass drum beater. This is particularly desirable in genres like rock, metal, and electronic music where a defined and punchy kick drum sound is crucial for rhythmic clarity.

• Protects Bass Drumhead: Applied directly to the bass drumhead at the point of beater impact, the patch acts as a protective barrier. This prevents premature wear, stretching, and tearing of the drumhead, significantly extending its lifespan.

• Maintains Natural Drumhead Motion and Sustain: Despite its thickness and durability, the EQPC2 is designed to be flexible enough to move naturally with the bass drumhead. This "stress-relief" design ensures that it doesn't choke the head's sustain or negatively impact its low-end response, allowing the drum's natural tone to remain largely unaffected.

• Easy to Apply: The patch is self-adhesive, making it simple to apply to the desired area of the bass drumhead.

• Comes in Pairs: The EQPC2 typically comes in a pack of two patches, catering to double pedal users.

• Made in USA: All Evans accessories, including these patches, are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA, ensuring high quality and consistency.

The Evans EQPC2 Clear Plastic Double Bass Drum Pedal Patch is an essential accessory for any drummer using a double bass pedal, offering both vital head protection and a desirable enhancement to the bass drum's attack, without compromising its natural sound quality.
