Evans EQ3 Frosted Bass Drum Head - 22"
Evans EQ3 Frosted Bass Drum Head - 22"
The Evans EQ3 Frosted Bass Drum Head – 22" is one of those bass drum heads that has quietly become a studio and stage staple for drummers who want punch, warmth, and controlled low-end without having to fight excessive overtones. Whether you’re playing rock, pop, indie, blues, country, or live session work, the EQ3 delivers that satisfying “finished” kick drum sound straight out of the box.
Built with Evans’ dual-ply construction, the EQ3 combines attack and durability with a deep, focused tone that sits beautifully in a mix. The frosted finish adds a touch of warmth and softness to the overall response, giving the drum a slightly rounder character compared to clear heads while still maintaining plenty of definition and projection.
One of the standout features of the EQ3 design is the integrated internal overtone control ring. Rather than choking the drum, it subtly reins in unwanted resonance, helping produce a punchy, controlled low-end thump with enough sustain to feel lively and musical. The result is a bass drum sound that’s powerful and articulate without needing loads of external muffling.
The 22" size makes it an ideal fit for standard full-size bass drums, and it performs brilliantly across a wide tuning range. Tuned low, it delivers deep, chesty punch for modern rock and heavier styles. Tighten it up slightly, and you’ll get a more focused, articulate attack suited to funk, indie, and pop settings.
At Musicmaker, the EQ3 Frosted is a consistent favourite among drummers who want reliable tuning, easy control, and a professional kick drum sound with minimal fuss.
