The EMAD Design
The EMAD series bass drum head is named for the externally mounted adjustable damping system. This system allows 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 EMAD system is available in a variety of options including single and two ply, and clear and coated versions to accommodate each drummer’s preferences.
Level 360 Innovation
Evans is now offering the EMAD series of bass heads with its revolutionary Level 360 technology. With Level 360, Evans has made it easier to tune and get a wider tonal range from your drums than ever before. Applying this new collar shape to our EMAD 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.
EMAD Options
The EMAD line is comprised of a variety of options with varying thicknesses, plies, and coatings. The original EMAD is comprised of a single 10 mil ply and is available in clear, coated, and the Evans Onyx choices. The EMAD2 is made up of a 6.5 mil ply and a 10 mil ply for added durability and is available in a clear option. The GMAD series takes the single ply construction of the EMAD and adds extra strength by using a 12 mil ply. The Evans EMAD Heavyweight rounds out the line with 2 clear high-performance 10 mil plies. The EMAD Heavyweight is designed to withstand heavy hitting and provide maximum attack.

Had a DW pillow in the bass drum and didn’t like it! Tried this head and sounds great! Has the depth and punch both! Two rings for more or less dampening!

I only buy emads now. I love every emad I have bought. Needs no internal muffling. Worth the money. I love the coating very warm tone.

My absolute go to head. I play blues, funk and this head gives me the warmth I am looking for. Attack is just tight without being slappy. Full sound with great low end. Even does rock well too. Simple to tune and stays there. Perfect head for my birch kick.

A versatile bass drum head. I replaced an EMAD clear. The coating does warm the tone and soften the attack slightly. The two foam muffling rings give some variety to muffling. I prefer a single ply head and nothing inside the bass drum. A controlled natural sound that works well in acoustic settings and of course with a mic on it.

I have the 20" & 22". This is the starting point of a great bass drum sound. Fine tune your sound by the reso head choice & dampening. This is Absolutely the best batter head out there.

Got this for an 18 x 14 bass drum on a Gretch Catalina Club Jazz kit - instant improvement with a much warmer and more powerful but very controllable thud using the thicker muffling ring of the 2 which come with the head.(Have since also replaced the reso with a Fibreskyn Powerstroke 3 - gives the drum more presence but not as major an improvement as this emad as a batter.)
