Awesome!!! Best sound!!! #1 Quality!!!

The Evans EMAD 2 Bass Drum Head is superb. It's easy to tune, highly durable, and versatile, especially for Spanish Christian music. It delivers a very good punchy sound with excellent tone and feel. Additionally, it offers great value for money, making it a smart investment for any drummer.

I have been buying this bass drum head continuously for the last 10 or 15 years. It is the best one with the best tone at the best price. Evans emad2 is fantastic. Super deep bass tones and the phone ring insert around it just gives it the perfect amount of dull boom that I love.

I am a Remo guy for sure but I find myself coming back to this head a lot recently. I use a variety of kick drums, mainly Gretsch & Ayotte. I had been using Power Stroke 3's because of their attack. What I want more than that is a warm, huge funky tone with good feel. The EMAD keeps doing that. I like them so much I have switched over all my kicks to them. On a 20" X 16" or 18" the drum sounds much bigger than it is. On stage it is wonderful. At home practicing it gives me back the sound I want which is rounder and deeper than the PS 3. These heads are durable as well so you won't be compromising durability. Hope this helps you guys & gals...

I took a gamble after using a similar head from a competitor for many years. I wanted my 22” kick to sound a certain way and tried this out. Combined with the REMAD reso, this thing is exactly what I’ve been searching for. A deep punch with high end attack. Almost eq’d in a way. I have no need for additional muffling and very, very minor eq is required if any! I run an AKG D112 on an internal suspension system and both in tracking and live applications, this head performed beyond my expectations. I tune this one just past wrinkle and the reso fairly tight for my taste. I do like how the head doesn’t feel mushy or weighted. There’s plenty of response to the head even when loose.I play a variety of styles such as metal, rock, blues, worship, country and more and this is now my go to.Try one out to see for yourself.

I play on a church band, playing mostly Hillsong/Passion music.I've been toying around with different heads and dampening methods for my kit, but the kick drum by far has been the most difficult to tinker with. With traditional heads, I tried several schemes with commercial dampening gear and also by taping things (a small towel, foam, even diapers) to the inside of my kick batter head -- which sort of did the trick, but the sound was still lacking. If I started pounding on the kick, it sounded too "rubbery" or "boing-y", which was a shame given the decent shells I have.Putting a pillow inside and mic-ing the drum was an option I did not like--the pillow choked the sound too much and the kick did not sound lively. Sure you can add all the enhancement you want with a mic, but sitting behind the drums the kick seemed underpowered compared to the rest of the kit. The sound tech may like the pillow/mic option, but hey, it's gotta sound good to the guy playing the drums.Then I tried the EMAD2 -- boy, I should have done it years ago. My kick now has the sound I've been trying to make. It's got a nicely defined, punchy "thud" to it with a short, controlled sustain while not losing the volume you'd expect from a 22-inch barrel. All this in a neat package that requires no additional dampening. It's an added bonus to be able to see the uncluttered insides of the kick drum.The kit sounds much more balanced now, and it's a joy to hear the kick again and again. The bass player on the band used to complain that my kick sounded too mushy and was difficult to hear over the mix, but he noticed the improvements right away.If you can, go give it a try at a local music store -- I'm pretty sure a decent store has a kit or two on display with this head on it (the choice of heads & tuning make a far greater difference in the overall sound than the material of the shells). You can compare it with other bass drums as well...
