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.


EMAD Features
  • Adjustable damping caters to all bass drum tones
  • Revolutionary Evans Level 360 collar
  • Two different foam damping ring options for different sound options
  • Multiple sizes, thicknesses, and coatings
  • Available in sizes 18” to 26”

The Evans clear Emad Heavyweight is by far the best batter head I have ever used

The Evans clear Emad Heavyweight is by far the best batter head I have ever used
The Evans clear Emad Heavyweight is by far the best batter head I have ever used. When it arrived, I just took it out of the box, put it on my 26" kick drum, tuned it just past the wrinkles, added the pedal and hit it a few times. I honestly could not believe the sound I was hearing. It had the deep tone and solid punch I have been after for years, right out of the box just like the ad says. I tried several different tuning levels and it sounded great at all of them, but I like it best just above the wrinkles. I do not have any muffling whatsoever inside the drum, just the foam rings that come with the head. With the double 10 mil plys there is no need to worry about damaging this head, no matter how hard you hit, and I have a very heavy foot on the kick (huge Bonham fan). I also use a wood beater on my pedal and this head stands up to this kind of punishment. I have previously used regular Evans Emad bass drum heads and they were great, but this one is definitely a step beyond those. I have two drum sets and I will soon be changing my other kick drum to the Heavyweight for sure. Anybody that is thinking about trying these heads, go ahead, you won't regret it.

I bought a new Tama kit with an 18 x 22 bass drum. I used remo for over 20 years. But I decided to give evans a try. I replaced the stock Tama head with this one. First, the quality is top notch. I'm not one to mess with frills and fluff (the sound deadening foam ring holder). I wasn't skeptical, just curious. The bass drum was too boomy for my room (and my neighbors). I tried the remo foam ring muffler but that was too much muffling... it completely killed the tone. When I installed this and hit the bass drum, I could feel my grin reaching my ears! It was the best sounding bass drum I've heard (in person). Now, to be fair, I didn't just use this head to get that sound. I ended up using the stock Tama front head (with a 6" hole cut out for a mic) and used the remo muffler on that side. It sounded incredible as I played it. But it didn't transfer well recorderd.
The feel of the head is nice and solid. I did also install a beater pad. It's the most I've ever paid for a bass drum head... but very worth the expense!

So I had this for about 8 months before it broke. When I put it on, it seemed pretty thick and durable. Now, I will admit that I'm not a professional, and I probably don't treat my drums the best, but I still would have expected it to last a bit longer. Durability aside, I did like the sound, and the dampeners were pretty easy to put on and take off.

I replaced two 24" power stroke 4's with these heads. The power strokes are an outstanding head,....however, I was looking for a deeper, lower tone for my 18x24's and got that with these Evans heads. They seat perfectly, and tune up easily. They are designed for heavy hitters, however, when tuned correctly will sound great at lower volumes and attack levels. A very thick two ply head.

Truly a vast difference from a normal bass drum head. It made my 18” small form factor bass drum sound like a full size drum immediately out of the box with the small foam ring installed. Such a huge improvement in the tone of this drum it’s hard to believe. Seems much boomier even than an Aquarian Super kick I had previously.
