Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The Evans REMAD continues the EMAD philosophy by offering a head oriented towards control and efficiency, but dedicated to the resonant head. It targets drummers seeking a bass drum that is easy to mic, with a consistently usable and coherent sound from one gig to another.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This resonant head is aimed at both intermediate and advanced drummers who want to optimize the projection and sound capture of their bass drum. It is particularly suited for playing styles requiring a clear attack and clean low end, from modern Rock to Fusion, while remaining musical enough for Jazz when seeking warm and controlled resonance.
Features and Innovations
With its single-ply 7 mil construction, the REMAD prioritizes a balance between responsiveness and stability. Its design is intended to provide precise output and vibration control, especially when a microphone is placed close to the head, to achieve a more controlled low spectrum and a better-defined attack.
Sound
The single-ply 7 mil construction promotes natural resonance with a sense of quick response: the attack stands out clearly while retaining warmth and present low frequencies. The result is a more articulate bass drum with a better-defined note, ideal for contexts where precision is sought without sacrificing the body of the sound.
