Review: Smooth white, excellent drumhead - If you're looking for a smooth white resonant bass drum head, this drumhead by Evans I believe is one of the best. It has a 5" port already cut out for mic placement and also a muffling ring around the head on the backside of the drumhead. I like the opaque smooth white head compared to a coated bass drum head because a coated head could get dirty quicker, the smooth white surface is much easier to keep clean. This drumhead has made all my bass drums sound better and it looks great. A white resonant bass drumhead, to me, gives a drumset a brighter more noticeable appearance, no matter what the color is of the drum set. If the drumkit is vintage and the front head needs to be replaced, this drumhead will capture the retro look of the drums and probably improve the sound of the old drums too unless ofcourse you want a reso head with the brand name already on the head but you can always buy a sticker of the drum company to put on this drumhead. I've bought two of these heads, a 22" and a 24" and I'm very pleased with both of them.
Review: Great for the Gretsch Catalina Club 18" bass drum. - I didn't see any reviews for the 18" head, so here's one. I think this head is fantastic. I know that 18" is generally thought of as more of a jazz size and the Gretsch Catalina Club is sold as one, but really, you don't have to be limited by that. I personally think that the bop kits are perfect for all kinds of music in this day and age where excessive volume is frowned upon anyway. With less air moving around, smaller kits can also be often easier to record as they will likely cause fewer problems acoustically. I installed this ported resonant head with an EMAD on the other side, tuned them both pretty low, and now I have a cracking little bass drum with a perfect low pop rock sound. The ported head is lined on the inside. It won't protect against a razor blade or anything, but you can definitely stick your hand in there and adjust your blankets or your microphone and not worry about messing up your head. My favorite kick drum mic is the Sennheiser e602 II, as it strikes a perfect balance of mix-ready and in-the-room sound for me. While my e602 will grab a great tone from almost any bass drum, even without a ported resonant bass drum head, but with the port, it's easy to fine tune exactly what to get from the kick drum, thereby having a more controlled sound with less bleed and EQ. Get this head. You'll like it, and live sound and studio people will love it, too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Punchy Thick Evans EQ3 Resonant Black Bass Drum Heads 22'
*by Q***R on November 22, 2024*

Replaced my stock pearl export double bass resonant drumheads with these bad boys and some EMAD2 batter heads. The sound definitely changed from the resonant drumhead material and sounds punchy with an EMAD dampener in their as well. I shall mic it up one day and record a sample to hear the differences.
