Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The EQ3 is part of the line of heads designed to simplify bass drum tuning: integrated control, immediately usable sound, and consistent sonic character from kit to kit. In its resonant version, it aims for a balance between aesthetics, projection, and ease of mic capture.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This resonant head is intended for beginner to advanced drummers seeking a clean and direct bass drum sound, particularly suited to rock, pop, metal, funk styles and amplified contexts where kick clarity is a priority.
Features and Innovations
The offset microphone hole allows for mic placement without modification and limits air turbulence, while maintaining a good "punch" feel. The internal control ring naturally reduces harmonics and shortens resonance: less time spent adding dampeners, more consistency from venue to venue.
Sound
With a warm mid tone and a very focused sustain, the EQ3 7mil emphasizes the attack and body of the bass drum while keeping a short note decay. The result: clear low end, controlled resonance, and a sound that fits easily into a mix, both in rehearsal and on stage.
