Description

Whether you play rock, blues, country or metal, the Evans EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum Head is a true working drummer’s choice. Named for the externally mounted adjustable damping, the versatile system caters to all bass drum tones by allowing each player to control the attack and focus of the drum head by choosing one of two removable foam damping rings. Choosing the thinner foam ring allows for punch and focus without sacrificing resonance, while choosing the wider foam ring maximizes the low end and attack of any bass drum. The 22” drum head has an outer ply of 7mil and an inner ply of 10mil film for added durability. Enhanced with revolutionary Level 360 technology, the clear bass drum head is easier to tune, with a wider tonal range than ever before. Applying the new Level 360 collar shape to the EMAD2 bass drum head allows it to seat itself properly and in turn provides a head that is easy to tune and a sound that is studio ready. Evans EMAD2 clear bass drum heads are available in sizes 18” to 26” with multiple thickness and coating options. For over 60 years, Evans Drumheads has been a pioneer in drum head manufacturing and design. Now part of D’Addario & Company, Inc., Evans products are proudly made in a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in the USA to the most stringent quality controls in the industry.

    • Everyone says Evans is great... and they're right!
Size: 18-inch
I have a Pearle Compact Traveler for acoustic gigs, and the bass drum sounded like a bass biscuit tin. Everyone says "get an Evans head" so I did. OMG! It sounds awesome! It was easy to install and I love the two foam band options.

    • Phat Funky Sound
Size: 22-inch
I am a Remo guy for sure but I find myself coming back to this head a lot recently. I use a variety of kick drums, mainly Gretsch & Ayotte. I had been using Power Stroke 3's because of their attack. What I want more than that is a warm, huge funky tone with good feel. The EMAD keeps doing that. I like them so much I have switched over all my kicks to them. On a 20" X 16" or 18" the drum sounds much bigger than it is. On stage it is wonderful. At home practicing it gives me back the sound I want which is rounder and deeper than the PS 3. These heads are durable as well so you won't be compromising durability. Hope this helps you guys & gals... ... show more

The media could not be loaded. My son busted through his first bass drum head (Aquarian), I am so proud. His drum instructor, which just so happens to be Garin Rosen of Arsonist Get All the Girls recommend this head. My god is it punchy yet deep. You can really get a good range from a soft boom to a deep pop without any ring. The previous head was good, but it really didn't produce a noticablly different sound between soft and hard hits. "The foam ring on the outside is something new to me, I was a little confused at first, but I really like the concept. This head come with one clear kick patch to help extend its life. I purchased an additional set of Evans woven kick pads for the double pedal while leaving the clear one on. I figure it couldn't hurt since my son's drum instructor also recommended using gaffers tape over these patches as well to extend its life even further. ... show more

    • Evans is the best!
Size: 24-inch
I have been buying this bass drum head continuously for the last 10 or 15 years. It is the best one with the best tone at the best price. Evans emad2 is fantastic. Super deep bass tones and the phone ring insert around it just gives it the perfect amount of dull boom that I love.

    • Finally, the kick sound I was looking for
Size: 22-inch
I play on a church band, playing mostly Hillsong/Passion music. I've been toying around with different heads and dampening methods for my kit, but the kick drum by far has been the most difficult to tinker with. With traditional heads, I tried several schemes with commercial dampening gear and also by taping things (a small towel, foam, even diapers) to the inside of my kick batter head -- which sort of did the trick, but the sound was still lacking. If I started pounding on the kick, it sounded too "rubbery" or "boing-y", which was a shame given the decent shells I have. Putting a pillow inside and mic-ing the drum was an option I did not like--the pillow choked the sound too much and the kick did not sound lively. Sure you can add all the enhancement you want with a mic, but sitting behind the drums the kick seemed underpowered compared to the rest of the kit. The sound tech may like the pillow/mic option, but hey, it's gotta sound good to the guy playing the drums. Then I tried the EMAD2 -- boy, I should have done it years ago. My kick now has the sound I've been trying to make. It's got a nicely defined, punchy "thud" to it with a short, controlled sustain while not losing the volume you'd expect from a 22-inch barrel. All this in a neat package that requires no additional dampening. It's an added bonus to be able to see the uncluttered insides of the kick drum. The kit sounds much more balanced now, and it's a joy to hear the kick again and again. The bass player on the band used to complain that my kick sounded too mushy and was difficult to hear over the mix, but he noticed the improvements right away. If you can, go give it a try at a local music store -- I'm pretty sure a decent store has a kit or two on display with this head on it (the choice of heads & tuning make a far greater difference in the overall sound than the material of the shells). You can compare it with other bass drums as well... ... show more
