Evans 24" EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum

I use the EMAD2 mainly for recording the bass drum in my studio but occasionally also for live shows and the results are fantastic - the sound is powerful and punchy with lots of meaty low end and great attack. I have used it on different genres - rock, punk rock, folk, hip-hop - having tried many bass drum heads before, the Evans EMAD2 has become my go-to product. The included muffling rings provide great versatility for shaping the tone. The head has proven to be very durable and retains its tone for a long time. I highly recommend this bass drum head, great value for money. It has not let me down once - just recently ordered two more to add to the studio drum head shelf.

My 24" bass drum sounds fantastic with the Evans EMAD2! Don't know what is sounds like with other sizes, but I can't imagine it being worse. My bass drum sounds really fat and with short sustain, which is exactly what I like in a bass drum sound. It might seem a bit pricey for a drum head, which is what I thought at first. But it's absolutely worth it! The quality is fantasic. After using it for a bit over a month, it still looks new. As I said, it of course sounds great with short sustain. And if you want a bit more longer sustain, you can adjust the sound with the dampening rings that come with the drum head or remove them completely. I can guarantee that I will buy this again in the future!
