Evans EMAD 5-Piece Drumhead Pack  

The tom and kick heads sound great and achieve the sound i was looking for; however, the snare sound is just awful, I don't like it at all. Otherwise the Evans EMAD system is a good setup for a decent price, the heads are on a Pearl Forum kit at time of review.

I bought this pack for my Mapex V-series 7piece (adding another head to my 10" rack tom and already having one G2 head as it was) and I am blown away at the sound I have coming from my kit.  I feel I am not the best at tuning drums, and find it difficult to get a sound I am satisfied with, but with this pack it took only a few moments for each drum.  The bass head in itself is absolutely remarkable, and in short is my favorite head I have ever purchased.

Pick these up.  You won't be disappointed...and if you are, you're doing it wrong.

The sound is well worth the price.

I recently decided to experiment by changing up my normal purchasing habit and trying these instead of my typical REMO purchase.  I bought this package set along with the EMAD bass drum resonant head.  After installing and playing, I am completely enamoured with the transformation.  I didn't realize that such tone was hidden in my kit.  The bass drum sounds very deep with no overtones.  It sounds very pleasant and professional.

As for the heads, I have grown accustomed to really "working" a drum/drums to capitalize on them tonally.  These Evans heads sound wonderful.  I can play at high or low volume and the tone is very forward.  I found the snare head to be interresting with systematic pin hole  perforations around the entire head about an inch from the inside of the  rim.  The snare sounds great!  Not only do I get the snare sound, but  the tone of the snare head is also reasonably pronounced.

I would describe these as warm and sweet.  I've not been so pleasantly surprised over a purchase in a very long time.
