    • My REMO loyalty took a hit on this one.
Size: 16 Inch Style: Tom Head
I'm a Remo guy through and through. Not necessarily because they're the best (let's be honest, all drum head manufacturers are pretty good) but because I like the brand, the history, the logo, and thus I'm unabashedly brand loyal. Chock it up to good marketing. However, this Evans EMAD kick drum head is excellent, and I'll definitely be sticking with this thing. At 16 inches, my bass drum is very small, but it packs a punch and this head allows me to tune it as low as possible without having to worry about a flattened-deadness or too much boomy overtones. Having meticulously tuned the resonance and attack head to each other, the bass thumps and has a nice beefy tone while still feeing clean and resonant. However, like with any head, you need to tune them properly or they'll sound awful -- no matter the size of the drum, quality of the drum set, or type of head. Tuning not only the head itself properly but in conjunction with the resonance head is absolutely key. Once you get the tuning down (I watched a lot of youtube videos) this head is killer and I highly recommend it. ... show more

    • Sounds great.
Size: 20-inch Style: Drum Head
Muffle system allows just the right amount of tonal resonance while controlling unwanted overtone. Combining with muffle ported Emad resonant head (I use Blk. Onyx), sound great and looks badass. I use this system on all three of my kits' basses. They are EXPENSIVE, but I haven't found anything to compare. I like the Emad 2 for my style and type of music, but if you're a lead footed hard rock player get the Emad 3 which is thicker. but a little less responsive. You don't want to put your foot through one of these. If you can afford it, get the batter and resonant head. For me, the sound was worth the money. ... show more

    • Turns a tom into a kick!
Size: 16 Inch Style: Tom Head
I modified my 16" tom to a kick drum and loved the set up but never could get the tom to sound like I was hoping until I got this head. Now I've got a great, tight, punchy and I'm loving it!

    • Great tone

I’ve used Evans drum heads for many years. I use them on both my 22 inch and my 24 inch bass drum. They always sound great and are quite durable.

I was looking for a head I could use as a low tuned snare/floor tom hybrid like Larnell Lewis’, and this strikes a good balance between the two! The muffle ring also helps dampen the snare and keeps it from buzzing. So glad Evan’s makes this head for a tom hoop!

Absolutely what I was looking for as a second floor Tom. I use a DW 16x16 shell for this head. It is super punchy and offers a short low end sustain perfect for recording and even live with little EQ needed to produce the perfect sound. What I recommend if using for floor Tom: Expect a punchy short sustained sound If you use a 16x14 shell expect less tone The deeper the shell the better tones you’ll get It’s originally a bass drum head.... so don’t expect tones like the EC2S or G2. Seems like most people on here expected it to sound like what they hear on YouTube, but forgetting the extensive post production they do to get those tones... As for the head by itself with our EQ, it’s 100 times better than I was expecting ... show more
