Evans is a great company
I've used them and they're good, but not for everybody. I don't think that they'd be good for real heavy hitters. The frosting could have a lot more texture for brushwork, but that's a criticism that I have for a lot of the EC heads and it's a real personal criticism, but they are really good and at that price, you'd be a fool not to pick up some. The company is based about 4 miles from where I live and I'm a real big fan of their heads for kick drums and the regular frosted white heads are the best substitute for the Remo snare heads in terms of sound. Their manufacturing and quality control is almost unmatched in the business.
