Evans EQ4 Clear Bass Drum Head - 22"

The Evans EQ4 Clear Bass Drum Head – 22" is built for drummers who want a huge, deep kick drum sound with serious punch and impressively controlled sustain straight out of the box. Designed with modern live and studio performance in mind, the EQ4 delivers a focused low-end response that feels powerful and polished without needing excessive muffling or endless tweaking.

Constructed from a single ply of 10mil film, the EQ4 strikes a clever balance between openness and control. Compared to heavier dual-ply heads, it retains a slightly more resonant and lively character, while Evans’ internal overtone control ring keeps unwanted boom and excessive ring firmly in check. The result is a bass drum tone that feels deep, punchy, and tight without sounding choked or overly processed.

The clear finish gives the EQ4 a crisp attack and excellent beater definition, helping the kick cut clearly through mixes in live settings and recordings alike. Whether you’re playing rock, pop, funk, indie, worship, or heavier modern styles, this head responds with a satisfying blend of low-end weight and articulate punch.

One of the reasons drummers love the EQ4 is how easy it is to tune. It performs beautifully across a wide range of tensions, delivering massive low-end thump at lower tunings while still maintaining clarity and responsiveness when tuned slightly tighter.

At Musicmaker, the EQ4 Clear is a favourite among players who want a controlled bass drum sound that still feels open, dynamic, and naturally musical under the pedal.
