  • Bass Drum
  • Product 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. The D’Addario family’s heart, soul and love for making music is put into every drum and accessory we create, and we never stop inspiring performance.

    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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great bass drum head for the money
    Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019
    Edit: I’ve had this head on a Mapex Venus kit (basswood), a Gretsch Catalina Maple (30 degree rounded bearing edge), and a DW Design series maple, I must say no matter what kit I put this head on the bass drum always had a very deep tone with perfect ring muffling (no need for blankets). I recommend this head for anyone on any type of wood.

    I absolutely love this bass drum head. You get two different muffling rings (i use the wider of the two). Best part is you dont need to stuff blankets or pillows in the bass drum to kill the ringing. I do have an Evans bass dampener. However I put the smaller part on my reso head. Also i didnt need to use the patch but i play in a metal band. So when I use plastic beaters i get the click that most metal drummers have to later EQ in. Not only does this bass drum head allow me to have awesome low-end, its also great if I want to switch up the muffling ring to a smaller one allowing more resonance. Evans is great for attack and super easy to tune. I still use a drumdial (to ensure even tension around the head) but honestly I dont have too. They seat well, ive never had glue come off any heads... (unlike other brands). Plus I love the sound it produces.
