Evans EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum Head, 18"

Introducing the Evans EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum Head – 18", a powerhouse of precision, punch, and unparalleled control. Designed for drummers who demand a bass drum sound that cuts through the mix with authority, this head combines innovative engineering with rugged durability. Whether you're hammering out thunderous rock grooves or crafting articulate, nuanced rhythms, the EMAD2 delivers a dynamic low-end that’s as responsive as it is powerful.

At its core, the EMAD2 features a dual-ply construction, comprising an outer 7mil layer and an inner 10mil layer. This combination enhances durability while providing a sharper attack and controlled resonance. But the real game-changer is Evans’ Externally Mounted Adjustable Damping (EMAD) system, which lets you tweak your sound on the fly. With two interchangeable damping rings, you can fine-tune the amount of attack and sustain without ever removing the head—no need for messy internal muffling or excessive dampening.

Evans' Level 360 Technology ensures a perfect fit across the drum shell, promoting effortless tuning and an even, balanced response. The result? A bass drum that sounds bigger, fuller, and more defined in any setting—studio or stage.

For decades, drummers have trusted Evans to craft heads that blend innovation with dependability. The EMAD2 Clear Bass Drum Head continues that tradition, offering the kind of customisable control that keeps you in command of your tone at all times.
