The Evans GMAD Clear Batter Bass Drumhead is built to handle the demands of any playing style. The GMAD features a 12-mil film— Evans' thickest single-ply film—for increased durability and volume. Its unparalleled Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system allows drummers to control attack and tone by selecting one of two removable damping rings. The GMAD provides a blend of depth, punch and resonance that suits drummers of all genres.

Heavy-Duty 12-Mil Film Withstands Powerful Playing

The GMAD's 12-mil film is Evans' thickest single-ply drumhead film, designed to handle aggressive playing styles. Its thickness provides added strength and volume, allowing drummers to play with power and confidence. Despite its durability, the GMAD maintains an open, resonant tone with plenty of low end. The 12-mil film is a versatile choice for drummers who want a single-ply sound with the power and projection to cut through loud mixes.

Adjustable Damping Provides Customized Sound

The GMAD features Evans' renowned EMAD damping system, which allows drummers to adjust attack and tone by selecting one of two removable foam rings. The thinner ring focuses the tone while allowing resonance, ideal for punchy, articulate playing. The wider ring maximizes attack and low end, perfect for aggressive styles. Drummers can easily swap between the two rings to customize their sound for different songs or venues. The EMAD system puts tone shaping at drummers' fingertips, allowing them to craft their ideal bass drum sound.

Level 360 Collar For Easy Tuning

Evans' Level 360 collar makes the GMAD easy to tune and helps it seat properly on bass drums. The Level 360's continuous contact area provides even tension and a wide tuning range, allowing drummers to achieve their desired tone. Quick, accurate tuning is crucial for dialing in the perfect bass drum sound and the Level 360 collar helps drummers get there in less time.

A Versatile Choice for All Drummers

With its blend of power, depth and adjustability, the GMAD is a versatile choice for drummers of all styles. Its single-ply 12-mil film provides volume and projection suited to louder genres, while its EMAD damping rings allow drummers to tailor the tone for any situation. Available in sizes from 18" to 26", the GMAD gives drummers a durable, customizable bass drumhead to rely on for all their playing needs.
