Evans Double EQ Black Nylon Bass Drum Patch

Evans Double EQ Black Nylon Bass Drum Patch - Head Protection Without Compromising Sound

The Evans Double EQ Black Nylon Bass Drum Patch (EQPB1) is a straightforward, effective solution for protecting your bass drum head at the beater impact point. Made from flexible black nylon with a non-slip backing, it softens the attack slightly and reinforces the head against wear - without affecting the overall sound quality of your kick drum.

At £9.80 it's one of the most cost-effective ways to extend the life of a bass drum head, and the flexible nylon construction means it conforms naturally to the head surface for a clean, secure fit.

Key Features

• Flexible black nylon construction - conforms naturally to the bass drum head surface for a clean, secure fit
• Non-slip backing - stays firmly in position at the beater impact point during playing
• Softens attack - takes the edge off a harsh or overly sharp beater impact for a rounder kick tone
• Strengthens the head - reinforces the impact zone to extend the life of your bass drum head
• No effect on sound quality - protects and subtly shapes the tone without deadening or over-dampening
• Model: EQPB1 - Evans Double EQ black nylon series

Nylon Patch vs Aramid Fiber Patch - Which Should You Choose?

Evans offers two distinct bass drum patch materials, each suited to different playing styles and tonal goals:

• Double EQ Black Nylon Patch (this model, £9.80) - flexible nylon, softens attack, protects the head - ideal for drummers who want a rounder, warmer kick tone and reliable head protection at an accessible price
• AF Aramid Fiber Patch (£10.87, pack of 2) - bulletproof vest material, enhances attack definition, four radial slits preserve head resonance - ideal for drummers who want more punch and definition from their kick, particularly in louder or more attack-focused contexts

Who Is It For?

• Drummers with a harsh or overly sharp beater attack - the nylon patch softens the impact point for a rounder, more controlled kick tone
• Any drummer who wants to protect their bass drum head - an affordable first line of defence against beater wear
• Jazz, acoustic, and lower-volume players - the softer attack character suits styles where a gentler kick tone is preferred
• Drummers on a budget - effective head protection at under £10
