Now who has used them? I know Pete uses them.
I'd like to get an idea on how they sound.

I'm dying to try them myself. I'll try one out on one of my toms later this week and report back.
I tried 'em at Summer NAMM. They sounded good! Something between a Pinstripe & an Emperor.

So they are pretty heavy then! I thought they were single ply with sound control type rings? Are they double? I was thinking about getting a set too.
EDIT: Ok, I see that they are 2-ply and IMO look like Evans take on a remo Pinstripe... maybe with more tuning range.

They do remind me of pinstripes only a little brighter. Since I started using these heads, I've gotten many complements from fellow musicians. I think that's mostly because of our soundman.
The word from Vito Rezza is "They're killer!". Erskine highly recommended them too, so they're going to be my next set of heads.
Right, that's it ... I have to try some of these things.
I saw these heads last week. They seem identical to a clear G2 batter, except for the ring. It's is basically a thin slotted foil tape stuck to the underside of the head, not between the film layers as I would have guessed.
I was looking for a more open sound, so I ended up just buying clear G1's. At nearly double the price, I would expect the EC-2 heads to deliver outstanding sound and durability. This might make for a great bass drum head if they ever expand the line.
