Every drummer knows the challenge: finding that perfect bass drum tone that cuts through the mix without losing depth. Whether you're laying down a tight four-on-the-floor beat or a thunderous double-bass pattern, your drum's sound is crucial to your overall performance. The Evans EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum Head solves this age-old problem with ingenious engineering that puts you in complete control of your sound.
The EMAD2's revolutionary externally mounted adjustable damping system is what makes it a true working drummer's choice. Instead of being locked into one sound profile, you get two removable foam damping rings that let you tailor your drum's character to match any musical style. Need that crisp, punchy attack for rock or funk? The thinner foam ring delivers focus and clarity without sacrificing resonance. Want that massive, earth-shaking thump for metal or hard rock? The wider foam ring maximizes low-end response and power. It's like having multiple drum heads in one.
Built to withstand the rigors of both studio sessions and live performances, the 22" EMAD2 features an outer ply of 7mil film combined with an inner ply of 10mil film for exceptional durability. This dual-ply construction ensures your drum head holds its tuning even during the most intense playing while maintaining rich tonal characteristics. The enhanced Level 360 technology takes the headache out of tuning with its innovative collar shape that helps the head seat itself properly, resulting in a wider tonal range and studio-ready sound from the moment you tune it.
From the tight, controlled sound of jazz to the thunderous blast beats of metal, the EMAD2 adapts to your musical needs. Professional drummers love how it handles different playing styles and techniques while maintaining consistent performance. The clear finish not only looks great but also provides the ideal balance of attack and resonance that works for everything from intimate club gigs to massive stadium shows. When you need a drum head that keeps up with your creativity and musical versatility, the Evans EMAD2 delivers performance you can count on.
For over 60 years, Evans Drumheads has been at the forefront of drum head innovation, and the EMAD2 continues that tradition of excellence. Made in the USA using state-of-the-art manufacturing and stringent quality controls, every EMAD2 reflects the D'Addario family's passion for creating products that inspire better performance. When you choose Evans, you're not just buying a drum head—you're investing in a tool that will help you achieve the perfect sound you've been searching for.
