Stunned!
Gerza 18.11.2018
This is my first head from Evans, and I am stunned. I use it on Pearl birch shell 22x18, and it sounds awesome!!! A lot of lows, and great attack! No overtones. Best kick drum head ever!!
It comes with interchangeable foam dampers and impact patch.
With this head, you can't go wrong! Best buy!

Versatile Head
Rbleij 08.06.2023
I really love this bass drumhead because of it's ability to adapt to differents styles of music. If you like to Rock you will get te punch and sustain you need and if you want to (let's say) Funk you are able to tighten this head in a way you wil get a funky attack out of it (especially if you combine it with the proper drum pedal and muffle inside the drum).

Overall I would say great value for money! And it's a strong head on itself, so very durable. As a professional player I would pick this bass drumhead over and over again.

Hope this review helps!

Best kick heads in the business
MrDngm 18.06.2023
Been playing these for years, along with the EC2's for the rest of the kit. With a bit of tuning/damping/beater adjustment, I've yet to find anything the EMAD2 can't do.

From clicky techdeath doublekick to downtempo ballads on session work, I only need one model of kick head. Typically I only replace them when there's too much irremovable adhesive from click-patches that get shredded by wooden beaters in metal playing, I haven't ever actually broken an EMAD with a protective patch.
That's saying something, because before switching to these I was frequently putting my beaters through kickdrum heads (either single-ply or other brands.)

A Powerhouse for your Kick drum!
Jay_Clay 01.02.2024
I switched from using Remo Powerstroke 4's to the EMAD 2 and now I use them on all my kick drums.

These heads give a full bodied punch to the tone of the kick drum, with plenty of attack, mic'd up - your kick will sound incredible!
The included muffling rings let you get rid of those old bed sheets and pillows to give you just enough sustain for that big roomy kick sound or a nice tight punch.

Pair this with an Evans EQ patch and thank me later! Keep the tuning loose and give a boost to your EQ at around 50-60Hz, turn up your subwoofers and give the crowd the beat through their chest.

Absolutely love this kick head

Does exactly what it says in the tin. However I find that on the particular drum I fitted virgin bass drum with no port that it does require additional damping. For this reason I removed a star.

Outstanding skin!
Anonymous 01.03.2017
You can't go wrong with Evans.

In terms of quality their products always excel! You know you've got a good drumhead if its evans or remo!

Off course the sound of the drumhead it's not for everyone.

I ripped my old original drumhead and needed one that could last and had a good sound. After a lot of video reviews I bought this one and it's amazing. The two foam rings allow you to dampen the sound to your taste, or if needed you can opt to don't use any of it and it still sounds awesome! I have it on a 22" bass drum and I really really really love the sound of it!

You won't be disappointed! Worth every penny!

Excellent
Chri5-HT 28.12.2019
That thicc kick sound,
Big difference to a regular, unmuffled kick drum head.

More improvement to be gained on lower-end kick drums.
Comes with a quite specific sound, so maybe check it out on some youtube vids.

Great first impressions
AA 12.04.2018
This was my first time using the EMAD2's and i was looking for a boomy bass drum sound whilst being a very durable skin. Hard to comment on its durability just yet but i think this one is noticeable better than other bass drum skins I've used in the past. The 2 foam rings included are a great way to modify the bass drum's sound to meet your preference. Id also recommend applying an Evans bass drum beater pad to maximise the skin's durability.

The best bass drum head ever
Burnee 14.05.2021
I've been playing drums for more than 30 years by now. I used many heads over the time. But while I stick to Remo heads for snare and toms, Evans EMAD II quickly became my weapon of choice for bass drum. Simply the best.
