Review: My REMO loyalty took a hit on this one. - I'm a Remo guy through and through. Not necessarily because they're the best (let's be honest, all drum head manufacturers are pretty good) but because I like the brand, the history, the logo, and thus I'm unabashedly brand loyal. Chock it up to good marketing. However, this Evans EMAD kick drum head is excellent, and I'll definitely be sticking with this thing. At 16 inches, my bass drum is very small, but it packs a punch and this head allows me to tune it as low as possible without having to worry about a flattened-deadness or too much boomy overtones. Having meticulously tuned the resonance and attack head to each other, the bass thumps and has a nice beefy tone while still feeing clean and resonant. However, like with any head, you need to tune them properly or they'll sound awful -- no matter the size of the drum, quality of the drum set, or type of head. Tuning not only the head itself properly but in conjunction with the resonance head is absolutely key. Once you get the tuning down (I watched a lot of youtube videos) this head is killer and I highly recommend it.
Review: Sounds great. - Muffle system allows just the right amount of tonal resonance while controlling unwanted overtone. Combining with muffle ported Emad resonant head (I use Blk. Onyx), sound great and looks badass. I use this system on all three of my kits' basses. They are EXPENSIVE, but I haven't found anything to compare. I like the Emad 2 for my style and type of music, but if you're a lead footed hard rock player get the Emad 3 which is thicker. but a little less responsive. You don't want to put your foot through one of these. If you can afford it, get the batter and resonant head. For me, the sound was worth the money.

*by D***. on March 8, 2024*

I modified my 16" tom to a kick drum and loved the set up but never could get the tom to sound like I was hoping until I got this head. Now I've got a great, tight, punchy and I'm loving it!
