Low End Boom

This head is a great head if you are looking for a good low end boom without much sustain, but still a good amount of Resonance, although the Evans website told me the head was going to be more Punchy and Defined. Overall still, this is a good drum head for all level drummers if you cant decide what you want, but want a decent head, that can be adjusted to fit your needs.

Perfect Solution To A Common Problem

This head is the answer to a lot of drummer's prayers. It provides a great level of control over what your bass drum sounds like. I don't think I could live without the rings now. Professional drummers may have a hired drum tech to work out the drums to perfection to hours on end, but some of us don't have that time. Quick and easy is what is described when I want a completely different sound to come from my kick.

EMAD The Best BD Head

Before the Emad I used the Aquarian Super Kick II which is an excellent drumhead and until the Emad came to be, I would still be using. The Emad gives you everything you want i.e. punch, feel and tone. Yes, everyone is different, generally speaking you can't go wrong. Just put the head on find which dampening ring works best for you and go to work.

Turn your pee shooter into a CANON

I really love this head. I've tried other damped bass heads (like Aqurian Superkicks) and I love the feel of this head. The only problem I have found is the black plastic groove that holds the foam dampener on the dead will come off by itself sometimes when you keep your kit set up in a cold enviroment like a rented storage facility. For the poor drummers like myself that have to rent non climate controled places to beat their skins chances are you will have this problem in the winter months. Luckly most of the time it happens when the head is near the end of it's life and won't stay in tune or holes form under the beater pad. NOTE TO EVENS.. find a better glue.

want a great low end bass drum thud? this is it.

when I first got the head, I was very eager to put in on and try it out. After the first kick, I was amazed with the tremendous low end sound it makes. It has a nice solid warm stacatto thud. the best thing about it is the dampening rings, you don't have to put a pillow in your bass drum anymore, which takes away the true tone of your shells and makes the drum very quiet. My friend also has the EMAD and loves it.
