Evans Bass Drum Heads - BD18EMAD - EMAD - 18-inch Bass Drum Head

Used for a show and sounds mega! Good delivery time and sounds great even when tuned low

Best base drum head bar none. Built in damper ensures a great thud. Can’t go wrong with this head

Personal factors on how you like your sound make it tricky to select the right drum heads. If you like a punchy sound then emad is good choice,good for rock.I like the fact you can change dampers not glued in like other brands. I currently playing with no damper gives great sound and volume with no mic in gig situation, I've got 7inch porthole in centre of res head which i find helps pump out the sound.The head did come with a beater patch.

This is by far the best head i've ever brought for a bass drum, i have one of these on my mapex saturn with a Evans EQ black patch on them to mainly stop my pedals from damaging it, and with only a tiny pillow inside, its just gives off the most beautiful full and powerful chest thumping sound, would reccommend a thousand times over.

Fantastic drum head

i personally love this bass drrum head ... no matter what size bass drum you have i am sure it will sound better with the evans EMAD ... it comes with two rubber or plastic material ( not sure which ) that fits onto the bass drum to make it have less resinance. i found the sound is now much qucker and has a more dry sound. well worth the money because the improvement is phenominal!

Just done my first gig with this skin, much better sounding than my previous (cheaper) Evans, not quite fruity enough for 5 stars but I may be able to tweek the tuning a bit and get it to sound a little better.Good powerful projection that will cut through the rest of the band, needs to be tuned fairly slack but I guess it's a matter of taste!Overall good value for money and great, quick delivery.

Excellent quality, was recommended to me. Service was extremely quick .
