What makes the Evans EMAD2 Bass Drum System Bundle unique?

This bundle provides both a batter and a resonant head for your 22-inch bass drum, ensuring a matched sound. The EMAD2 batter head features two plies (7mil and 10mil) for durability and a deep, punchy attack. Its external, interchangeable damping rings allow you to easily control sustain and tone without removing the head. The resonant head is a 10-mil, single-ply head, often clear, and comes with a pre-installed 4-inch port and an external foam-dampening ring.

What kind of sound can I expect from the EMAD2 Bass Drum System?

The EMAD2 system delivers a powerful, focused bass drum sound with excellent attack and controlled low-end. The clear, two-ply batter head provides durability and a deep thud, while the external damping rings allow you to fine-tune the sustain. The resonant head, with its 4-inch port and external foam-dampening ring, helps project a full, punchy tone, making it ideal for rock, metal, and other genres needing a strong kick.

Who is the Evans EMAD2 Bass Drum System Bundle designed for?

This system is perfect for drummers seeking a durable, versatile, and great-sounding bass drum setup. It's suitable for gigging musicians who need consistent tone and quick sound adjustments, as well as studio drummers looking for a punchy, controlled kick. The included batter and resonant heads make it a convenient all-in-one solution for upgrading your 22-inch bass drum.

How do the EMAD2 damping rings work to control the sound?

The EMAD2 batter head features an external mounting system for two interchangeable foam damping rings: a narrow ring for moderate dampening and a wide ring for maximum control. These rings sit against the head's edge, allowing you to quickly change your bass drum's sustain and attack without removing the head or using internal muffling. This offers great flexibility for different musical styles.

Does the resonant head in this bundle come with a port hole?

Yes, the resonant head included in this 22-inch EMAD2 Bass Drum System Bundle comes pre-equipped with a 4-inch port hole. This port is strategically placed to allow for easy microphone placement inside the bass drum, enhancing the drum's projection and facilitating air movement for a more defined and punchy sound. Additionally, the resonant head features an external foam-dampening ring around the port, which helps reduce unwanted overtones and further shape the sound.
