Evans EMAD 2 Clear Batter Head  

I just now got to writing this review. I've had this head for around 3  months now, and I absolutely love it. The tonal options you have in this  head are endless. From low, piuchy rock/ metal sounds, to nice full mid  pitched tones for jazz, all of the m come through and come through  extremely well. You're tuning options are endless. I've also noticed  with evans heads more than any other that they stay "more wet" than most if you know what I mean. Long story short, if you buy this head, you won't be dissapointed.

The two different size foam rings will give you the tone, punch and sustain you've always bee looking for but never got until you use this amazing head!  It comes with a single beater sticker to protect the head  from the beater surface.  I wish it came with two pads for double bass folks.  I threw mine away and use a double striker protector instead.

I've only had this head a week or so, so I can't really comment on quality.  Before putting the head on, I went around the foam holder and pressed it on really hard to prevent it from falling off as some people said may happen.  Didn't seem necessary however.

Given that this head solved my bass sound forever, I have to say the value is outstanding!  BUY THIS THING!  It's an amazing head and will make your bass sound just like you want it to!

I bought this head on the recommendation on Tama's forum.  My kit is new (Tama Silverstar) and the stock heads were WAY too BOOMY.  I put this head on, tuned it up (easily), and I was absolutely blown away!  The installed foam ring still gave me just a touch too much sustain so I installed the larger ring, and it gave me the sound that I've always been looking for but was never able to attain using any other head (or stuffing my bass with every pillow in the house).  My bass now has nothing inside of it and sounds like a dream!  Or perhaps, the bass drum of Dream Theater!  It's got killer punch, real short sustain and great tone.  Everything I always wanted but never found until I bought this head!  GET IT!  You will thank yourself!  I promise!

Interchangeable dampners are great and easy!

Built to last.

Seems a little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

I've played drums for many many years. Unfortunately, this created a bad habit of buying the same gear year after year. Luckily, I had a moment of clarity and realized that there may be something out there that I like better than what I liked 15-20 years ago. The EMAD 2 is a perfect example. I had always played Hydraulics on everything including my kick. Put this baby on and what a difference! My 24's sound huge yet punchy. Do yourself a favor and switch...TODAY!

Can't belive how much this inproved the sound of my bass.  I really like the sound and responce I

get with Evans heads and this one is no different.  I recommend this head.

Great look and I love how they give you options on which damper to use. I personally use the smaller one due to the fact that I like more resonence.

Nice .

Good price I gues. I only buy from Musicians Friend so I have no clue what others sell it for.

Awsome head great tone . I used this to replace a pearl protone head. There is a huge differance. I will probably never buy another type of head. #evansfreak.
