Evans 12" EC Resonant Control Tom

Good choice

very happy with the soud i got from them - good sound for playing metal

Lots of Boom

Paired with the frosted heads these sound great, nice resonance without annoying ringing.

I use EC Resonant Control skins on all my toms (atm)

Easy to tune, stays in tune. Would buy again. Planning on having this for a few years, see no reason to change it. Really like it.

Excellent

accordage aisé et bonne tenue

harmonique faible

Simple to tune

just 2 dots of gel on the ring was enough to remove all overtones i didn't like, very nice paired with a hydraulic evans head.

Perfect

It is just what I need, perfect sound. I have bought for my drum - total 4 toms, all the same type of resonant heads. Great stuff!

Nice reso for rock and metal

As a recording engineer, I sometimes struggle with getting toms right in the recording process. Now tuning is an issue for many people. These resonant heads are much easier to tune than anything I have used in the past. It seems that the head is already perfectly seated when you put it on for the first time. I'm still strechting them in but this is clearly different from other heads (and brands) I had in the past.

Then again, even with a head perfectly tuned, you might get unwanted resonances. What I like about these heads is that they seem to shorten the sustain of the tom a bit and also cut out a little of those overtones. This makes getting a nice tom sound much easier. Especially when recording heavy rock and metal music I usually don't want the toms to ring eternally but rather present me with a nice attak and tone before quickly dying out, which I easily get with these reso heads, especially in conjunction with the EC2S batter heads.

All in all, this resonant head is exactly what I was looking for. I have used these heads for quite a while now and they seem just as new.
