Here's a breakdown of what's included and its features:

Evans ECPPDB-DB1-R: The dB One Rock System Pack + Cymbals

This pack provides a full set of Evans dB One drumheads for a standard "Rock" kit configuration, along with a matching set of low-volume cymbals and a cymbal bag.2 The core idea behind the dB One series is to allow drummers to play their acoustic kits and cymbals with a natural feel and tone, but at a drastically reduced volume (up to 80% quieter).3 This makes it ideal for home practice, apartment living, or quiet rehearsals.

Included Drumheads (dB One Series - Reduced Volume)

The drumhead portion of the pack includes:

• 10-inch dB One Tom Head (Mesh)

• 12-inch dB One Tom Head (Mesh)

• 16-inch dB One Tom Head (Mesh)4

• 14-inch dB One Snare Drumhead (Mesh with Snare Sim Technology)5

• 22-inch dB One Bass Drumhead (Mesh)6

Key Features of dB One Drumheads:

• ShockWeave Mesh: These are multi-ply mesh drumheads designed to provide a realistic rebound and stick feel, mimicking the response of regular drumheads.7

• Kinetic Transfer Foam (KTF) & Impact Patch: These technologies are integrated into the heads, particularly the bass and tom heads, to reinforce the striking surface.8 They transfer the energy of impact into sonic vibration efficiently, preserving the drum's natural tone at a much lower volume.9 This allows the shells' natural resonance to still come through.

• Snare Sim Technology (on Snare Head): The 14" snare head specifically incorporates this technology to recreate the characteristic "buzz" and "crack" of a real snare drum, including snare wire response, all at a significantly reduced volume without any actual snare wires.10 This is a crucial innovation for low-volume practice.

• 80% Volume Reduction: The primary benefit is the drastic reduction in volume, making it possible to practice at conversational levels.11

• Maintain Acoustic Tone & Feel: Despite the volume reduction, Evans aims to retain the natural acoustic tone of your drums and a playing feel that is consistent with regular drumheads, so you don't have to change your technique.12

Included Cymbals (dB One Series - Low Volume)

The cymbal portion of the pack includes:

• 14-inch dB One Hi-Hats

• 16-inch dB One Crash Cymbal13

• 18-inch dB One Crash Cymbal14

• 20-inch dB One Ride Cymbal15

Key Features of dB One Cymbals:

• Spiral-Perforated Volume Reduction System: These cymbals feature a unique spiral pattern of perforations that significantly reduce their volume.16

• Nano-Plated Stainless Steel Alloy: They are made from a special alloy and coated with a nano-plate finish to achieve authentic chime and resonance.17

• dBalance Technology: This is Evans' proprietary technology for low-volume cymbals, aiming to produce an articulate sound with authentic feel, but at a fraction of the volume (also around 80% quieter than traditional cymbals).18

• Natural Feel & Response: Like the drumheads, the cymbals are designed to feel and respond naturally, allowing drummers to use their normal technique.19

Included Accessory

• 22-inch Cymbal Bag: A convenient bag to store and transport your dB One cymbals. The 22-inch size ensures it can accommodate all the included cymbals, including the 20-inch ride.

Overall Purpose and Ideal User

The Evans ECPPDB-DB1-R dB One Rock System Pack + Cymbals is explicitly designed for:

• Quiet Practice: This is the primary use case. It allows drummers to practice on their acoustic drum kit at home, in apartments, or at odd hours without disturbing others.20

• Maintaining Acoustic Feel: For drummers who prefer the feel and setup of an acoustic kit over electronic drums for practice.

• Versatile Drummers: While labeled "Rock System," the ability to practice quietly is beneficial for all genres.

• Students and Educators: Ideal for learning and teaching without excessive noise.

It's a complete, integrated solution from Evans to address the common challenge of practicing acoustic drums in volume-sensitive environments.
