12” coated drumhead from EC2 series that features a Sound Shaping Technology ink ring mounted is painted onto the head consisting of two plies of 7 mil film rather than the glued on metal ring. By controlling edge vibration (instead of eliminating it), the ring isolates and damps higher overtones, enhancing low-end and attack, and enabling a broader tuning range. That means that the character of each drum really comes out. The coated version delivers additional warmth, focus, and depth, plus a unique translucent appearance.
