## Description

View largerThe EMAD DesignThe 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 InnovationEvans 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 OptionsThe 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.

Review: Onyx EMAD - I have tried all of the EMAD series of heads, as well as the Remo and Aquarian counterparts. The ONYX is the best for punch, dynamics, and speed. Speaks more clearly as low volumes than the EMAD2 or Heavyweight. If you want speed & tone try it!
Review: The right sound for any situation - The ability to have 3 dampening levels, and the ease of tuning the Onyx style heads makes this combination great for on the fly tuning. Gigging musicians will get a lot of mileage out of these heads and be ready for any room. You can get anything from super tight 0 sustain machine gun double kicks with the big ring in to room filling boomy stuff with the ring left off and the reso head tuned correctly. I'm never buying another kick head again for my own gigging set. Unless I'm assembling some sort of specialized set for recording purposes and it requires a very specific kick sound, like a calf skin on a 26" or something... It's going to be these heads. Only reason I didn't rate durability was because I've only had it a minute... But my other Onyx heads are durable as all hell, so I expect the same from this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic !
*by F***I on October 4, 2010*

After a few years of using the Aquarian "super kick 2" I decided to make a change to a single ply head, I chose this onyx by evans, First of all this head has amazing Punch! Right in the chest that you can feel! It works best at low tunings and use the small ring insert, The durability is very good for a single ply head and I have just ordered my second one after almost a year of use on the first, Gigging every weekend and also practicing twice a week this head has held up very well, I do recomend the use of a kick pad which I use to get a bit more durability out of the head, I used and recomend the Aquarian double thin kick pad. I am not a light player, I play heel up and kick hard, this is a great sounding punchy head with great attack and a real sharp deep punch, highly recomended, Great Job Evans !
