Evans EQPB2 EQ Black Nylon Double Kick Bass Drum Patch – 4 Pack (2 Packs of 2) | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Evans EQPB2 is a black non-slip flexible nylon bass drum patch designed specifically for double pedal use — protecting the bass drum head from the accelerated wear and fatigue that double kick playing inflicts, while softening attack without affecting sustain or low end. This listing includes four patches total in two separate packs of two, giving double kick players a complete supply for both the primary and secondary beater strike zones with spares on hand. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA by Evans — one of the most trusted names in drumhead and drum accessory manufacturing.
Product Overview
Bass drum heads take more concentrated mechanical stress from pedal beaters than virtually any other point of contact in a drum kit — and double pedal players compound this stress by striking the same head at two distinct points across extended, high-tempo playing sessions. Without protection, the repeated impact of a hard beater against the same area of the head causes premature wear, denting, and eventual puncture at the strike zone, requiring complete head replacement at significantly greater cost and inconvenience than a patch swap. The Evans EQPB2 patch addresses this directly by providing a reinforcing layer at the beater contact point that absorbs and distributes impact force across a wider area of the head surface, extending the head's usable life meaningfully.
Beyond protection, the EQPB2 contributes a tonal modification that many drummers actively seek — a softening of the attack transient at the moment of beater impact. This softened attack produces a slightly rounder, less clicky initial transient character compared to a bare head, which suits a wide range of musical contexts where a natural, round kick tone is preferred over a sharp, hard attack. Crucially, Evans's design maintains the sustain and low-end character of the bass drum unchanged — the patch affects only the initial attack transient rather than the drum's overall resonance, body, and low-frequency output. This balance of protection and controlled tonal modification is what distinguishes the EQPB2 from simpler protective patches that may affect tone more broadly.
The flexible nylon construction allows the patch to conform to the head's surface for consistent, secure contact without stiffening the head or creating hard spots that could affect playing response. The non-slip design keeps the patch in position under the physical demands of high-tempo double kick playing. All Evans accessories are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.
Note: Not recommended for use with soft fleece or felt bass drum beaters — the patch is optimized for use with hard plastic, wood, or similar beater surfaces.
