Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range
For over 60 years, EVANS has been one of the most innovative brands in the drumhead world, notably with lines that have become benchmarks such as EMAD, Hydraulic, and UV1. The EMAD series is positioned as a modern and effective solution to quickly achieve a controlled and punchy bass drum sound, with recognized manufacturing consistency and a design incorporating Level 360 technology.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This 20" EMAD batter head is aimed at intermediate to professional drummers seeking an immediately usable sound, regardless of the context. Its great versatility makes it suitable for pop, rock, funk, metal (depending on tuning), and contemporary music styles where a precise and well-defined bass drum presence in the mix is desired.
Features and Innovations
The EMAD system relies on removable external dampers : you can modulate the amount of control, attack, and bass presence in seconds, without internal adjustments. This is a direct advantage in the studio, rehearsals, and on stage, allowing you to adapt the bass drum's response to the room and playing style.
Sound Characteristics
The 10 mil single-ply film promotes a clear attack and balanced response, with solid low end without any muffled feel. The sanded finish adds warmth and depth while enhancing stick attack precision and control sensation, ideal for a more "round" and defined sound.
