5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent way to prolong bass head life, December 1, 2004

This review is from: Evans EQ Single Pedal Patch, Clear Plastic (Electronics)

I am not a loud player since I do mostly jazz and acoustic sets, but my primary drum kits (a Tama Stagestar and Groove Percussion Travel Kit) come with smaller bass drums that require me to use tom tom heads. The Stagestar's 18" head does not present the main problem, but the Groove Percussion kit with its 16" bass drum requires that I use tom tom heads. To protect the heads on both kits and prolong their life I use these EQ patches (the single for the Groove Percussion kit, and double for the Tama).

One of the best things about this patch is it does not change the sound or tone at all. After going through fits getting the Groove Percussion kit's bass drum tuned I appreciate the fact that sound dynamics remain the same before and after the patch is applied. More importantly, I have confidence that my bass drum heads will not need replacing due to wear for quite some time because these patches absorb all of the wear and tear.

Cheap, and it works. Also, for some reason I didn't realize this prior to receiving the item, but this purchase comes with two patches. So, really, not a bad deal.
